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:

const { LambdaToDynamoDBProps,  LambdaToDynamoDB } = require('@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-lambda-dynamodb');

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

new LambdaToDynamoDB(stack, '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`.

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 least privilege access IAM role for Lambda function
Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda function
Enable X-Ray Tracing

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
