This AWS Solutions Construct implements the AWS Lambda function and Amazon DynamoDB table with the least privileged permissions.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in Typescript:

const { LambdaToDynamoDBProps,  LambdaToDynamoDB } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-lambda-dynamodb';

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

new LambdaToDynamoDB(this, 'test-lambda-dynamodb-stack', props);

Initializer

new LambdaToDynamoDB(scope: Construct, id: string, props: LambdaToDynamoDBProps);

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• props LambdaToDynamoDBProps

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
tablePermissions?	string	Optional table permissions to grant to the Lambda function. One of the following may be specified: All, Read, ReadWrite, Write.
tableEnvironmentVariableName?	string	Optional Name for the DynamoDB table environment variable set for the Lambda function.

Pattern Properties

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

Default settings

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

AWS Lambda Function

• Configure limited privilege access IAM role for Lambda function

• Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda function

• Enable X-Ray Tracing

• Set Environment Variables

  • (default) DDB_TABLE_NAME
  • AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)

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
