AWS Lambda and Kinesis Client Library (KCL)
How come I find so little examples of the KCL being used with AWS Lambda.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/developing-consumers-with-kcl.html
It does provide a fine implementation for keeping track of your position on the stream (checkpointing).
I want to use the KCL as a consumer. My set-up is a stream with multiple shards. On each shard a Lambda is consuming. I want to use the KCL in the Lambda's to track the position of the iterator on the shard.
Why can't I find anyone who use the KCL with Lambda.
What is the issue here?

Are you looking at using Lambda as the consumer or the producer? If you're looking at using it as a consumer, Kinesis can be configured as a lambda event source.

@JamieStarke , as a consumer. I updated the question.

@JamieStarke, yes it can be configured as lambda event source. On the other hand I do not find examples of people using the KCL and Lambda. I only read about the fact that they are not really used together. But I never read why.
