Does AWS SQS trigger concurrent lambda functions?

I have an AWS Lambda that is triggered by SQS. Couple dozen lambdas will push message to that SQS. So I was wondering when SQS is flooded with messages does it automatically trigger lambda to create multiple instance of it and handle the messages? Or do I have to configure something else? Thanks

Yes it is possible. AWS documentation states that

A Lambda function can process items from multiple queues (one Lambda event source for each queue). You can use the same queue with multiple Lambda functions.
