+# AWS Lambda Function example
+
+## Build & Deploy
+
+1. Install [cargo-lambda](https://github.com/cargo-lambda/cargo-lambda#installation)
+2. Build the function with `cargo lambda build --release`
+4. Make sure to edit the QUEUE_URL env variable in producer/Cargo.toml
+3. Deploy boths functions to AWS Lambda with
+
+`cargo lambda deploy consumer --iam-role YOUR_ROLE`
+
+`cargo lambda deploy producer --iam-role YOUR_ROLE`
+
+## Build for ARM 64
+
+Build the function with `cargo lambda build --release --arm64`
+
+## Add the SQS trigger to the consumer function
+
+You can use aws-cli to create an event source mapping:
+
+```bash
+aws lambda create-event-source-mapping \
+--function-name consumer \
+--region <region> \
+--event-source-arn <your-SQS-queue-ARN> \
+--batch-size 1
+```
