AWS Lambda Java Example

A simple Java Lambda based server-less application that implements a reimbursement use case, with AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway, AWS SES, and AWS DynamoDB. Set up the project with Eclipse and AWS Toolkit plugin.

Please take a look at the wiki for a detailed Getting Started - Step-by-Step guide.

Getting Started (Short)

  1. Set up Eclipse, import the projects, and install the AWS Eclipse Toolkit plugin.
  2. Upload the Lambda Functions (Right click on project > Amazon Web Services > Upload Function to AWS Lambda)
  3. Set up a DynamoDB table 'lambda-reimbursment' with Hash Key 'employee_id' (String). Set the DynamoDB tables as event source for LambdaSendMail and LambdaApproval. Create an API method, so that a click on the link (HTTP GET) calls the LambdaApproval Function (with a parameter 'employee_id').
  4. Call the LambdaForm Function from Eclipse with the following JSON input: {"employee_id":"1", "employee_name":"John Doh", "expense_type":"travel","amount": "456.75" }

If the Lambda Function completes successfully, a new entry will be added to the DynamoDB table lambda-reimbursment. LambdaSendMail gets triggered by the DynamoDB stream (pull model) and sends an e-mail with the info that has been added to the table. If you have received the e-mail and click on the approval URL in the e-mail body, the LambdaApproval Function will be called and add an "approved" column entry to DynamoDB.
