 For these scenarios, you can subclass `BatchProcessor` and quickly override `success_handler` and `failure_handler` methods:
 
-* **`success_handler()`** – Keeps track of successful batch records
-* **`failure_handler()`** – Keeps track of failed batch records
+* **`success_handler()`** is called for each successfully processed record

+    These functions have a common `record` argument. For backward compatibility reasons, their type is not the same:

+    - `failure_handler`: `record` type can be an Event Source Data Class or your [Pydantic model](#pydantic-integration). During Pydantic validation errors, we fall back and serialize `record` to Event Source Data Class to not break the processing pipeline.
