aws-lambda: Run a function with an input payload in JSON format.
$ aws lambda invoke --function-name ${name} --payload ${json} ${path-to-response}.json
try on your machine
This command is used to invoke an AWS Lambda function and capture the response. Let's break it down:
aws lambda invoke
: This is the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) command for invoking a Lambda function.--function-name ${name}
: This specifies the name of the Lambda function to invoke. The${name}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual name of the Lambda function.--payload ${json}
: This parameter is used to pass input data (payload) to the Lambda function. The${json}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual JSON payload that you want to pass. Make sure to properly format the JSON.${path-to-response}.json
: This specifies the file path where the response of the Lambda function invocation will be written. After invoking the Lambda function, the response will be stored in a JSON file at the specified path. The placeholder${path-to-response}
should be replaced with the actual file path, including the desired file name and extension, e.g.,~/lambda-response.json
.
Overall, this command allows you to invoke a Lambda function using the AWS CLI, passing the required payload, and capturing the response in a JSON file.
