build1 publisherOne report AWS Lambda's recursive loop detection reached the European Sovereign Cloud on September 10, 2026, cutting S3, SQS and SNS chains at about 16 invocations. A dev.to analysis shows that loops through other services, old SDKs or wide fan-out still get through, so eusc-de-east-1 teams need limits of their own.

build2 publishersConfirmed AWS published a Bedrock AgentCore sample for agents that wake on S3 and scheduled events, capping each agent turn at Lambda's 15-minute timeout. Reviewers can take hours, so the sample stops the agent at every human checkpoint and restarts it from saved state.

build1 publisherOne report miruky's console walkthrough puts an order and its outbox event in one DynamoDB transaction, then fails the consumer on purpose to show why redelivery is the consumer's problem. The whole exercise is priced under $5 in us-east-1.

build1 publisherOne report SQS standard queues and Lambda event source mappings both deliver at least once, and that guarantee is about the envelope. A lab in us-east-1 sent the same 150-real order four times and logged four charges.

build1 publisherOne report Laravel's shipped config keeps a 60-second worker timeout under a 90-second queue lease, but the framework's fallback for any connection written by hand is 60, and nothing in the boot path checks the pair. The symptom then depends on tries.
