[github-actions]

Summary

Fixes two critical Lambda function errors in ticketing services:

SubmitTicket Lambda - 717 SQS errors (InvalidParameterValue)
CreateTickets Lambda - 721 DynamoDB errors (ConditionalCheckFailedException)

Root Causes

SubmitTicket Error

• Issue: SQS message exceeds 262144 bytes limit
• Location: lambda_function.py:67 - sqs.send_message()
• Stack Trace: ClientError: Message must be shorter than 262144 bytes

CreateTickets Error

• Issue: Duplicate ticket IDs violating DynamoDB condition
• Location: lambda_function.py:72 - table.put_item() with attribute_not_exists(ticket_id)
• Stack Trace: ConditionalCheckFailedException: The conditional request failed

Fixes Provided

Fix 1: SubmitTicket - Message Size Validation

• Add size check before SQS send_message call
• Use S3 for messages exceeding SQS limit
• Alternative: Compress large payloads with gzip

Fix 2: CreateTickets - Idempotent Ticket Creation

• Generate unique ticket IDs using timestamp + UUID
• Handle ConditionalCheckFailedException with retry logic
• Support S3 reference messages from SubmitTicket fix

Impact

• Resolves: 721 DynamoDB ConditionalCheckFailedException errors
• Improves: SubmitTicketHandlerAvailability and PostTicketsAvailability SLO compliance
