Spring Boot Lambda Startup multiple times at the cold start - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm writing small Data downloading service function using Spring Boot 2.7. I deployed it in the AWS lambda function. At the cold starting each time it initializes twice as shown in the image below.
Here is the lambderHandler.java
public class LambdaHandler implements RequestHandler<SQSEvent, String> {
private static final ApplicationContext applicationContext = SpringApplication.run(DataDownloaderService.class);
#Override
public String handleRequest(SQSEvent event, Context context) {
context.getLogger().log("Input: " + event);
if (!event.getRecords().isEmpty()) {
SQSEvent.SQSMessage firstRecord = event.getRecords().get(0);
String eventBody = firstRecord.getBody();
if (eventBody != null) {
ProductDownloadService productDownloadService = applicationContext.getBean(ProductDownloadServiceImpl.class);
try {
productDownloadService.downloadProductData(JsonUtil.getUserInfo(eventBody));
return "Successfully processed";
} catch (IOException e) {
return "Error in data downloading: " + e.getMessage();
}
}
}
return "Data download not success";
}
}
Here is the DataDownloaderService.java
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.test.*"})
#EntityScan(basePackages = {"com.test.*"})
public class DataDownloaderService {
}
Why spring boot lambda function initialize multiple times at the cold start? Did I have some misconfiguration here or is it a bug?

Answer 1

I found a workaround to fix this issue from here.
Here is the workaround for the above code.
public class LambdaHandler implements RequestHandler<SQSEvent, String> {
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
/**
* Entry point in the lambda function
* #param event
* #param context
* #return
*/
#Override
public String handleRequest(SQSEvent event, Context context) {
return initDataDownloaderService(event, context);
}
/**
* initialize application context and Data downloader service
*
* #param event
* #param context
* #return
*/
private String initDataDownloaderService(SQSEvent event, Context context) {
if (applicationContext == null) {
applicationContext = SpringApplication.run(DataDownloaderService.class);
}
context.getLogger().log("Input: " + event);
if (!event.getRecords().isEmpty()) {
SQSEvent.SQSMessage firstRecord = event.getRecords().get(0);
String eventBody = firstRecord.getBody();
if (eventBody != null) {
ProductDownloadService productDownloadService = applicationContext.getBean(ProductDownloadServiceImpl.class);
try {
productDownloadService.downloadProductData(JsonUtil.getUserInfo(eventBody));
return "Successfully processed";
} catch (IOException e) {
return "Error in data downloading: " + e.getMessage();
}
}
}
return "Data download not success";
}
}
