aws-lambda-step-function module

---

Some of our early constructs don’t meet the naming standards that evolved for the library. We are releasing completely feature compatible versions with corrected names. The underlying implementation code is the same regardless of whether you deploy the construct using the old or new name. We will support both names for all 1.x releases, but in 2.x we will only publish the correctly named constructs. This construct is being replaced by the functionally identical aws-lambda-stepfunctions.

Java	software.amazon.awsconstructs.services.lambdastepfunction

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

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in Typescript:

import { LambdaToStepFunction } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-lambda-step-function';
import * as stepfunctions from '@aws-cdk/aws-stepfunctions';

const startState = new stepfunctions.Pass(stack, 'StartState');

new LambdaToStepFunction(this, 'LambdaToStepFunctionPattern', {
  lambdaFunctionProps: {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_14_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__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, providing both this and lambdaFunctionProps will cause an error.
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.
createCloudWatchAlarms	boolean	Whether to create recommended CloudWatch alarms
logGroupProps?	logs.LogGroupProps	User provided props to override the default props for for the CloudWatchLogs LogGroup.
stateMachineEnvironmentVariableName?	string	Optional Name for the Step Functions state machine environment variable set for the producer Lambda function.
existingVpc?	ec2.IVpc	An optional, existing VPC into which this pattern should be deployed. When deployed in a VPC, the Lambda function will use ENIs in the VPC to access network resources and an Interface Endpoint will be created in the VPC for Amazon Step Functions. If an existing VPC is provided, the deployVpc property cannot be true. This uses ec2.IVpc to allow clients to supply VPCs that exist outside the stack using the ec2.Vpc.fromLookup() method.
vpcProps?	ec2.VpcProps	Optional user-provided properties to override the default properties for the new VPC. enableDnsHostnames, enableDnsSupport, natGateways and subnetConfiguration are set by the pattern, so any values for those properties supplied here will be overrriden. If deployVpc is not true then this property will be ignored.
deployVpc?	boolean	Whether to create a new VPC based on vpcProps into which to deploy this pattern. Setting this to true will deploy the minimal, most private VPC to run the pattern: One isolated subnet in each Availability Zone used by the CDK program enableDnsHostnames and enableDnsSupport will both be set to true If this property is true then existingVpc cannot be specified. Defaults to false.

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.
stateMachineLogGroup	logs.ILogGroup	Returns an instance of the ILogGroup created by the construct for StateMachine
cloudwatchAlarms?	cloudwatch.Alarm[]	Returns a list of alarms created by the construct.
vpc?	ec2.IVpc	Returns an interface on the VPC used by the pattern (if any). This may be a VPC created by the pattern or the VPC supplied to the pattern constructor.

Default settings

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

AWS Lambda Function

• Configure limited privilege access IAM role for Lambda function
• Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda function
• Enable X-Ray Tracing
• Set Environment Variables
  • (default) STATE_MACHINE_ARN
  • AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)

AWS Step Function

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