AWS lambda from MSK cluster missing kafka message header

Question

I want to use AWS lambda to consumer kafka messages, but the events I received don't contain kafka headers, that are very critical. Is there a way to get messages with headers info?

Answer 1

The Lambda Kafka integration did not support headers before, but they have (very recently, in the last few days) silently added support for headers. You can see this in the latest event example in the docs (or try it yourself): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-msk.html
