Lambda examples using SDK for Kotlin (original) (raw)

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Kotlin with Lambda.

Basics are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

Basics

The following code example shows how to:

• Create an IAM role and Lambda function, then upload handler code.
• Invoke the function with a single parameter and get results.
• Update the function code and configure with an environment variable.
• Invoke the function with new parameters and get results. Display the returned execution log.
• List the functions for your account, then clean up resources.

For more information, see Create a Lambda function with the console.

        Usage:

        Where:
            functionName - The name of the AWS Lambda function. 
            role - The AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service role that has AWS Lambda permissions. 
            handler - The fully qualified method name (for example, example.Handler::handleRequest). 
            bucketName - The Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket name that contains the ZIP or JAR used for the Lambda function's code.
            updatedBucketName - The Amazon S3 bucket name that contains the .zip or .jar used to update the Lambda function's code. 
            key - The Amazon S3 key name that represents the .zip or .jar file (for example, LambdaHello-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar).

Actions

The following code example shows how to use CreateFunction.

    myFunctionName: String,
    s3BucketName: String,
    myS3Key: String,
    myHandler: String,
    myRole: String,
): String? {
    val functionCode =
        FunctionCode {
            s3Bucket = s3BucketName
            s3Key = myS3Key
        }

    val request =
        CreateFunctionRequest {
            functionName = myFunctionName
            code = functionCode
            description = "Created by the Lambda Kotlin API"
            handler = myHandler
            role = myRole
            runtime = Runtime.Java17
        }

    LambdaClient { region = "us-east-1" }.use { awsLambda ->
        val functionResponse = awsLambda.createFunction(request)
        awsLambda.waitUntilFunctionActive {
            functionName = myFunctionName
        }
        return functionResponse.functionArn
    }
}

            functionName = functionNameVal
            logType = LogType.Tail
            payload = byteArray

    LambdaClient { region = "us-west-2" }.use { awsLambda ->
        val res = awsLambda.invoke(request)
        println("${res.payload?.toString(Charsets.UTF_8)}")
        println("The log result is ${res.logResult}")
    }
