Explanation

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-retries.html Asynchronous invocation - Lambda retries function errors twice. If the function doesn't have enough capacity to handle all incoming requests, events might wait in the queue for hours or days to be sent to the function. You can configure a dead-letter queue on the function to capture events that weren't successfully processed.
