This AWS Solutions Construct implements an AWS Lambda function connected to an AWS Step Function.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

const { LambdaToStepFunction } = require('@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-lambda-step-function');

new LambdaToStepFunction(stack, 'LambdaToStepFunctionPattern', {
    lambdaFunctionProps: {
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
        handler: 'index.handler',
        code: lambda.Code.asset(`${__dirname}/lambda`)
    },
    stateMachineProps: {
      definition: startState
    }
});

Initializer

new LambdaToStepFunction(scope: Construct, id: string, props: LambdaToStepFunctionProps);

Parameters

scope Construct
id string
props LambdaToStepFunctionProps

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.
stateMachineProps	`sfn.StateMachineProps`	User provided props for the sfn.StateMachine.

Pattern Properties

Name	Type	Description
lambdaFunction	`lambda.Function`	Returns an instance of the Lambda function created by the pattern.
stateMachine	`sfn.StateMachine`	Returns an instance of StateMachine created by the construct.
cloudwatchAlarms	`cloudwatch.Alarm[]`	Returns a list of alarms 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

AWS Step Function

Enable CloudWatch logging for API Gateway
Deploy best practices CloudWatch Alarms for the Step Function
