lambda-log-wrapper v1.0.10

Lambda Logger

• This npm package logs data about calls to lambda functions including:
  • Duration
  • Request/ Response objects
• Log the duration of a call from <caller-name> to <invoked-name> to a Log group with a naming convention of /metric/lambda/correlation/<caller-name>/<invoked-name>

When using serverless

• Serverless automatically appends the stage variable to lambda functions when deploying to aws
• It is suggested you add the stage variable as an environment variable for your lamdba functions. This allows you to dynamically piece together the correct funciton name for the stage being tested

var funcitonName = 'helloworld' + '-' + process.env.STAGE;

Usage

// Initialize lambda logger
var Lambda = require('lambda-logger');

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
    // Pass the context object to lambda wrapper
    var lambda = new Lambda(context);

    // Invoke function
    var request = {
        FunctionName: 'Helloworld',
        ProcessId: pid,
        TranactionId: tid
    };
    lambda.invoke(request)
    .then((response) => {
        // Do work ...

        // Chaining calls
        var request = {
            FunctionName: 'Goodbyeworld',
            ProcessId: pid,
            TranactionId: tid
        };
        return lambda.invoke(request);
    })
    .then(() => {
        // Do final steps
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        // Error within promsise chain
    });
}

TODO:

• Update the Security template give functions permission to:
  • Create log group
  • put cloudwatch metrics
• Update the application template
  • Add new npm package
• test promise chaining
• implement callback version
