Pattern Details
- Title: Lambda Durable Function — Dynamic Batch Processing with Fan-Out/Fan-In (.NET)
- Description: A durable function that discovers files in S3 at runtime, dynamically fans out a parallel task per file, then aggregates results into a summary report.
- Language: .NET (C#)
- Framework: CDK
- Level: 300
- Services: AWS Lambda, Amazon S3
How It Works
This pattern deploys a Lambda durable function that implements dynamic fan-out/fan-in. Given an S3 prefix, it lists all files at runtime and creates a parallel processing task for each one — the parallelism is not hardcoded at design time.
Each file is processed independently (parsed, transformed, written to an output prefix), and all branches are awaited with ParallelAsync. Once all files complete, the function aggregates results and writes a summary report to S3.
This demonstrates dynamic parallelism with durable functions: the number of branches is determined at runtime, each branch is independently checkpointed, and the orchestration is resilient to interruptions.
