AWS Lambda

Since Camel 2.20

Only producer is supported

The Lambda component supports create, get, list, delete and invoke AWS Lambda functions.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon Lambda. More information is available at AWS Lambda.

When creating a Lambda function, you need to specify a IAM role which has at least the AWSLambdaBasicExecuteRole policy attached.

Warning

Lambda is regional service. Unlike S3 bucket, Lambda function created in a given region is not available on other regions.

URI Format

aws-lambda://functionName[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS Lambda component supports 11 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

configuration (producer)

The AWS Lambda default configuration

LambdaConfiguration

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

operation (producer)

The operation to perform. It can be listFunctions, getFunction, createFunction, deleteFunction or invokeFunction. The value can be one of: listFunctions, getFunction, createAlias, deleteAlias, getAlias, listAliases, createFunction, deleteFunction, invokeFunction, updateFunction, createEventSourceMapping, deleteEventSourceMapping, listEventSourceMapping, listTags, tagResource, untagResource, publishVersion, listVersions

invokeFunction

Example

To have a full understanding of how the component works, you may have a look at this integration test

Automatic detection of AmazonLambda client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AmazonLambda bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-lambda</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-lambda with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-lambda-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
