Summary
AWS Lambda automatically detects and terminates recursive invocation loops between supported services (SQS, SNS, S3,
Lambda). For some workflows — such as deliberately re-invoking a function through an intermediary queue — this default
behavior kills legitimate processing. The only way to opt out is setting
