I'm using API Gateway, Lambda, and the IOT Platform to do realtime lookup / enrichment stuff for contacts in our CRM.
I setup a webhook in the CRM to call the API when a contact was created or updated, which would then enrich (update) the contact. I didn't realize that I had to disable the option to not trigger the update when the contact was updated via the API. So it created an infinite loop of updates that called everything millions of times before we realized what was happening.
I guess the one positive here is that our system can scale and handle the traffic :)
