This AWS Solutions Construct implements a pattern Amazon DynamoDB table with stream to invoke the AWS Lambda function with the least privileged permissions.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in Typescript:

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_solutions_constructs.aws_dynamodb_stream_lambda import DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps, DynamoDBStreamToLambda

DynamoDBStreamToLambda(self, "test-dynamodb-stream-lambda",
    lambda_function_props=FunctionProps(
        code=lambda_.Code.from_asset(f"{__dirname}/lambda"),
        runtime=lambda_.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
        handler="index.handler"
    )
)

Initializer

new DynamoDBStreamToLambda(scope: Construct, id: string, props: DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps);

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• props DynamoDBStreamToLambdaProps

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
dynamoEventSourceProps?	aws-lambda-event-sources.DynamoEventSourceProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for DynamoDB Event Source

Pattern Properties

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

Lambda Function

This pattern requires a lambda function that can post data into the Elasticsearch. A sample function is provided here.

Default settings

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

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

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
• Enable Failure-Handling features like enable bisect on function Error, set defaults for Maximum Record Age (24 hours) & Maximum Retry Attempts (500) and deploy SQS dead-letter queue as destination on failure
