Building a simple, mostly serverless app using two AWS SQS queues. One incoming lambda pushes data to an incoming queue for an EC2 to process when available. That EC2 process pushes processed data to another queue, which then triggers another lambda to notify requesting client.
Somehow, less a week into the month, the SQS service has accumulated over 200k "requests".
Messages from both queues are deleted once messages are received (respectively, from the EC2 process and the second lambda).
Why are there so many requests?
