This enhancement allows developers to build highly scalable, low-latency event-driven applications, including real-time order processing and IoT telemetry ingestion, without splitting workloads across multiple mappings to meet concurrency needs.

The feature is generally available across AWS Commercial Regions, configurable via multiple AWS tools, and billed by event poller units, supporting mission-critical workloads with stringent throughput and latency requirements.
