This AWS Solutions Construct implements a pattern Amazon DynamoDB table with stream to invoke the AWS Lambda function with the least privileged permissions.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

const { DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps,  DynamoDBStreamToLambda} = require('@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-dynamodb-stream-lambda');

const props: DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps = {
    lambdaFunctionProps: {
        code: lambda.Code.asset(`${__dirname}/lambda`),
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
        handler: 'index.handler'
    },
};

new DynamoDBStreamToLambda(stack, 'test-dynamodb-stream-lambda', props);

Initializer

new DynamoDBStreamToLambda(scope: Construct, id: string, props: DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps);

Parameters

Pattern Construct Props

Name Type Description
existingLambdaObj? lambda.Function Existing instance of Lambda Function object, if this is set then the lambdaFunctionProps is ignored.
lambdaFunctionProps? lambda.FunctionProps User provided props to override the default props for the Lambda function.
dynamoTableProps? dynamodb.TableProps Optional user provided props to override the default props for DynamoDB Table
existingTableObj? dynamodb.Table Existing instance of DynamoDB table object, If this is set then the dynamoTableProps is ignored
dynamoEventSourceProps? aws-lambda-event-sources.DynamoEventSourceProps Optional user provided props to override the default props for DynamoDB Event Source

Pattern Properties

Name Type Description
dynamoTable dynamodb.Table Returns an instance of dynamodb.Table created by the construct
lambdaFunction lambda.Function Returns an instance of lambda.Function created by the construct

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

Amazon DynamoDB Table

  • Set the billing mode for DynamoDB Table to On-Demand (Pay per request)
  • Enable server-side encryption for DynamoDB Table using AWS managed KMS Key
  • Creates a partition key called 'id' for DynamoDB Table
  • Retain the Table when deleting the CloudFormation stack
  • Enable continuous backups and point-in-time recovery

AWS Lambda Function

  • Configure least privilege access IAM role for Lambda function
  • Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda function
