Lambda function to check SQS pending messages is not required unless you want dynamic thresholding instead of static one. SQS provides length as a metric which can be used to create static alarm for autoscaling.

Hi Prathmesh,
Yes, we could do that architecture using just SQS and CloudWatch. I added Lambda in there to illustrate that we can insert additional functions if needed such as dynamic thresholding.
