🐾Stop using while loops in Lambda functions🐾

🔄 Consider utilizing waiters and paginators to handle your workflows. These AWS constructs allow you to wait for specific events or page through results without resorting to while loops.

✅ Waiters 

Use waiters to pause execution until a specific condition is met. For example, you can wait until a resource is created or a status changes. You don't waste computing time with while loops and sleep statements, also it's optimises your requests to AWS.

✅ Paginators

When working with AWS APIs that return paginated results, leverage paginators to retrieve data in a controlled and efficient manner. Paginators handle the pagination logic for you, eliminating the need for while loops. Also, your code will be much shorter and cleaner with them.

You can more information about waiters and paginators in the documentation.
