  const payload_a = event.body?.payload_a
  const h = createHandler((offset, continueContext) => {
    // do your stuff continue from given offset.
    for(const i = offset; i < 100000000; i++) {
      // Halt if needed.
      if (continueContext.shouldStop()) {
        return i
      }

      await continueContext.assertCancellation(offset)

      // do long running process here!
    }
  }, {
    cycleMinutes: 12,           // execute at maximum 12 minutes per cycle

    lambdaFunctionName: 'Your-Lambda-Function-Name!',
