A convenient way to run a Lambda function in the cloud is with a test event in the AWS Management Console. A test event is a JSON input to your function. If your function does not require input, the event can be an empty JSON document ({}). The console provides sample events for a...
AWS Lambda's main resources are Lambda functions, which contain a granular piece of code that performs a specific task. Functions can initiate using multiple mechanisms, such as the AWS SDK, HTTP endpoints or configurable events from other AWS services. This delivers flexibility to make functions ...
Once you complete this flow and create the IAM role, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the CloudFormation template. The other prerequisite for this example is to create a file with the source code of the Lambda function -- in this case, I named it index.py -- and package...
When you update your function, Lambda updates the runtime of your function to the most recent and secure runtime version. This approach synchronizes runtime updates with function deployments, giving you control over when Lambda applies runtime updates. With this mode, you can detect and mitigate...
$ serverless create --template aws-nodejs\ --path lambda-sns-dlq-error-handling The create command will create a newservice. What a surprise! We also pick a runtime for the function. This is called thetemplate. Passing inaws-nodejswill set the runtime to Node.js. Just what we wa...

Using AWS Lambda, you can run code on multiple events as either an HTTP request via Amazon API gateway or some modification to database values and table updates. The code we run on AWS Lambda is like a formula in a spreadsheet called Lambda functions. Once your function is ready, you ...
Next, we need toinstall the AWS SAM CLIand then test it: $ sam --version SAM CLI, version 1.1.0 Now we’re ready to create our Lambda. 4.2. Creating the SAM Template The SAM CLI provides us a way of creating a new Lambda function: ...

Debugging serverless applications, particularly AWS Lambda functions, can be challenging due to their distributed nature and the limitations of traditional debugging tools. However, AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) provides a way to simulate Lambda functions locally, enabling developers to test and ...
