## Overview
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:
Typescript
```python
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { DynamoDBStreamsToLambdaProps, DynamoDBStreamsToLambda} from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-dynamodbstreams-lambda';
import * as lambda from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda';
new DynamoDBStreamsToLambda(this, 'test-dynamodbstreams-lambda', {
lambdaFunctionProps: {
code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`lambda`),
runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_16_X,
handler: 'index.handler'
},
});
```
Python
```python
from aws_solutions_constructs.aws_dynamodbstreams_lambda import DynamoDBStreamsToLambda
from aws_cdk import (
aws_lambda as _lambda,
Stack
)
from constructs import Construct
DynamoDBStreamsToLambda(self, 'test-dynamodbstreams-lambda',
lambda_function_props=_lambda.FunctionProps(
code=_lambda.Code.from_asset('lambda'),
runtime=_lambda.Runtime.PYTHON_3_9,
handler='index.handler'
)
)
```
Java
```java
import software.constructs.Construct;
import software.amazon.awscdk.Stack;
import software.amazon.awscdk.StackProps;
import software.amazon.awscdk.services.lambda.*;
import software.amazon.awscdk.services.lambda.Runtime;
import software.amazon.awsconstructs.services.dynamodbstreamslambda.*;
new DynamoDBStreamsToLambda(this, "test-dynamodbstreams-lambda",
new DynamoDBStreamsToLambdaProps.Builder()
.lambdaFunctionProps(new FunctionProps.Builder()
.runtime(Runtime.NODEJS_16_X)
.code(Code.fromAsset("lambda"))
.handler("index.handler")
.build())
.build());
```
## Pattern Construct Props
| **Name** | **Type** | **Description** |
|:-------------|:----------------|-----------------|
|existingLambdaObj?|[`lambda.Function`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.Function.html)|Existing instance of Lambda Function object, providing both this and `lambdaFunctionProps` will cause an error.|
|lambdaFunctionProps?|[`lambda.FunctionProps`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.FunctionProps.html)|User provided props to override the default props for the Lambda function.|
|dynamoTableProps?|[`dynamodb.TableProps`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_dynamodb.TableProps.html)|Optional user provided props to override the default props for DynamoDB Table|
|existingTableInterface?|[`dynamodb.ITable`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_dynamodb.ITable.html)|Existing instance of DynamoDB table object or interface, providing both this and `dynamoTableProps` will cause an error.|
|dynamoEventSourceProps?|[`aws-lambda-event-sources.DynamoEventSourceProps`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda_event_sources.DynamoEventSourceProps.html)|Optional user provided props to override the default props for DynamoDB Event Source|
## Pattern Properties
| **Name** | **Type** | **Description** |
|:-------------|:----------------|-----------------|
|dynamoTableInterface|[`dynamodb.ITable`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_dynamodb.ITable.html)|Returns an instance of dynamodb.ITable created by the construct|
|dynamoTable?|[`dynamodb.Table`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_dynamodb.Table.html)|Returns an instance of dynamodb.Table created by the construct. IMPORTANT: If existingTableInterface was provided in Pattern Construct Props, this property will be `undefined`|
|lambdaFunction|[`lambda.Function`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.Function.html)|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](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-solutions-constructs/blob/master/source/patterns/%40aws-solutions-constructs/aws-dynamodbstreams-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana/test/lambda/index.js).
## 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 limited 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
* Set Environment Variables
* AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)
