AWS (GovCloud) Lambda Destination Not Triggering - amazon-web-services

Question

I am working in AWS GovCloud I have the following configuration in AWS Lambda:
A Lambda function which decodes a payload
A Kinesis Stream set as a trigger for the aforementioned function
A Lambda Destination (we have tried Lambda functions as well as SQS, SNS)
No matter the configuration, I cannot seem to get Lambda to trigger the destination function (or queue in the event of SQS).
Here is the current Lambda Function. I have tried many permutations of the result/return payload without avail.
import base64
import json
def lambda_handler(event, context):
#print("Received event: " + json.dumps(event, indent=2))
for record in event['Records']:
payload = base64.b64decode(record['kinesis']['data']).decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
print("Success")
result = {
"statusCode": 202,
"headers": {
#'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
"body": '{payload}'
}
return json.dumps(result)
I then send a message to Kinesis with the AWS CLI (I have noted that "Test" in the console does not observe desintations as per Jared Short ).
Every 0.1s: aws kinesis put-records --stream-name test-stream --records Data=SGVsbG8sIHRoaXMgaXMgYSB0ZXN0IGZyb20gdGhlIEFXUyBDTEkh,PartitionKey=partitionkey1 Thu Jul 8 19:03:54 2021
{
"FailedRecordCount": 0,
"Records": [
{
"SequenceNumber": "49619938447946944252072058244333476686328287240252293122",
"ShardId": "shardId-000000000000"
}
]
}
Using Cloudwatch metrics and logs I am able to observe the function being triggered by the messages sent to Kinesis every .1 second.
The metrics charts indicate a success (as I expect).
Here is an example log from Cloudwatch:

However, viewing the cloudwatch logs/metrics for the destination lambda function or SQS queue clearly show that the destination is not being triggered.
Over the course of troubleshooting, I have over-provisioned IAM policies to the Lambda function execution role so I am fairly confident that it is not an IAM related issue. Additionally, both functions are sharing the same execution role.
One thing I am not clear on after reviewing AWS documentation and 3rd party information is the criteria by which AWS determines success or failure for a given function. I am currently researching the invokation docs in search of what might be wrong here - but my interpretation is that AWS knows our function is successful based on the above Cloudwatch metrics showing a 100% success rate.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to try to troubleshoot the destination trigger for lambda?
Edit: As pointed out, the code is not correct for multiple record events. This is a function of senseless troubleshooting/changes to the code to get the Destination to trigger. Even something as simple as this does not invoke the destination.
import base64
import json
def lambda_handler(event, context):
#print("Received event: " + json.dumps(event, indent=2))
# for record in event['Records']:
# payload = base64.b64decode(record['kinesis']['data']).decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
# print("Success")
# result = {
# "statusCode": 202,
# "headers": {
# 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
# },
# "body": '{"Success":True, payload}'
# }
return { "result": "OK" }
So, the question: Can someone demonstrate it is possible to have a Kinesis Stream Event Source Trigger a Lambda Function which successfully triggers a Lambda destination in AWS Govcloud?
