aws-sdk-java-v2-lambda

This AWS SDK for Java 2.x skill provides patterns for invoking Lambda functions, creating and updating function code, managing configurations and layers, and integrating Lambda with Spring Boot applications. Use it when building Java applications that need to invoke Lambda functions synchronously or asynchronously, deploy function updates programmatically, or integrate serverless compute operations into Spring Boot services.

# AWS SDK for Java 2.x - AWS Lambda

## Overview

AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs code without managing servers. Use this skill to implement AWS Lambda operations using AWS SDK for Java 2.x in applications and services.

## When to Use

- Invoking Lambda functions from Java applications
- Deploying and updating Lambda functions via SDK
- Managing function configurations and layers
- Integrating Lambda with Spring Boot applications

## Quick Reference

| Operation | SDK Method | Use Case |
|-----------|------------|----------|
| **Invoke** | `invoke()` | Synchronous/async function invocation |
| **List Functions** | `listFunctions()` | Get all Lambda functions |
| **Get Config** | `getFunction()` | Retrieve function configuration |
| **Create Function** | `createFunction()` | Create new Lambda function |
| **Update Code** | `updateFunctionCode()` | Deploy new function code |
| **Update Config** | `updateFunctionConfiguration()` | Modify settings (timeout, memory, env vars) |
| **Delete Function** | `deleteFunction()` | Remove Lambda function |

## Instructions

### 1. Add Dependencies

Include Lambda SDK dependency in `pom.xml`:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>lambda</artifactId>
</dependency>
```

See [client-setup.md](references/client-setup.md) for complete setup.

### 2. Create Client

Instantiate `LambdaClient` with proper configuration:

```java
LambdaClient lambdaClient = LambdaClient.builder()
    .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
    .build();
```

For async operations, use `LambdaAsyncClient`.

### 3. Invoke Lambda Function

Synchronous invocation:

```java
InvokeRequest request = InvokeRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .payload(SdkBytes.fromUtf8String(payload))
    .build();

InvokeResponse response = lambdaClient.invoke(request);

return response.payload().asUtf8String();
```

See [invocation-patterns.md](references/invocation-patterns.md) for patterns.

### 4. Handle Responses

Parse response payloads and check for errors:

```java
if (response.functionError() != null) {
    throw new LambdaInvocationException("Lambda error: " + response.functionError());
}

String result = response.payload().asUtf8String();
```

### 5. Manage Functions

Create, update, or delete Lambda functions:

```java
// Create
CreateFunctionRequest createRequest = CreateFunctionRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .runtime(Runtime.JAVA17)
    .role(roleArn)
    .code(code)
    .build();

lambdaClient.createFunction(createRequest);

// Verify function is active before proceeding
GetFunctionRequest getRequest = GetFunctionRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .build();
GetFunctionResponse getResponse = lambdaClient.getFunction(getRequest);
if (!"Active".equals(getResponse.configuration().state())) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Function not active: " + getResponse.configuration().stateReason());
}

// Update code
UpdateFunctionCodeRequest updateCodeRequest = UpdateFunctionCodeRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .zipFile(SdkBytes.fromByteArray(zipBytes))
    .build();

lambdaClient.updateFunctionCode(updateCodeRequest);

// Wait for deployment to complete
Waiter<GetFunctionConfigurationRequest> waiter = lambdaClient.waiter();
waiter.waitUntilFunctionUpdatedActive(GetFunctionConfigurationRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .build());
```

See [function-management.md](references/function-management.md) for complete patterns.

### 6. Configure Environment

Set environment variables and concurrency limits:

```java
Environment env = Environment.builder()
    .variables(Map.of(
        "DB_URL", "jdbc:postgresql://db",
        "LOG_LEVEL", "INFO"
    ))
    .build();

UpdateFunctionConfigurationRequest configRequest = UpdateFunctionConfigurationRequest.builder()
    .functionName("my-function")
    .environment(env)
    .timeout(60)
    .memorySize(512)
    .build();

lambdaClient.updateFunctionConfiguration(configRequest);
```

### 7. Integrate with Spring Boot

Configure Lambda beans and services:

```java
@Configuration
public class LambdaConfiguration {
    @Bean
    public LambdaClient lambdaClient() {
        return LambdaClient.builder()
            .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
            .build();
    }
}

@Service
public class LambdaInvokerService {
    public <T, R> R invoke(String functionName, T request, Class<R> responseType) {
        // Implementation
    }
}
```

See [spring-boot-integration.md](references/spring-boot-integration.md) for complete integration.

### 8. Test Locally

Use mocks or LocalStack for development testing.

See [testing.md](references/testing.md) for testing patterns.

## Examples

### Basic Invocation

```java
public String invokeFunction(LambdaClient client, String functionName, String payload) {
    InvokeRequest request = InvokeRequest.builder()
        .functionName(functionName)
        .payload(SdkBytes.fromUtf8String(payload))
        .build();

    InvokeResponse response = client.invoke(request);

    if (response.functionError() != null) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Lambda error: " + response.functionError());
    }

    return response.payload().asUtf8String();
}
```

### Async Invocation

```java
public void invokeAsync(LambdaClient client, String functionName, Map<String, Object> event) {
    String jsonPayload = new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(event);

    InvokeRequest request = InvokeRequest.builder()
        .functionName(functionName)
        .invocationType(InvocationType.EVENT)
        .payload(SdkBytes.fromUtf8String(jsonPayload))
        .build();

    client.invoke(request);
}
```

### Spring Boot Service

```java
@Service
public class LambdaService {
    private final LambdaClient lambdaClient;

    public UserResponse processUser(UserRequest request) {
        String payload = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(request);

        InvokeResponse response = lambdaClient.invoke(
