AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping

The AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping resource creates a mapping between an event source and an AWS Lambda function. Lambda reads items from the event source and triggers the function.

For details about each event source type, see the following topics.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping",
  "Properties" : {
      "BatchSize" : Integer,
      "BisectBatchOnFunctionError" : Boolean,

      "Enabled" : Boolean,
      "EventSourceArn" : String,
      "FunctionName" : String,
      "MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds" : Integer,
      "MaximumRecordAgeInSeconds" : Integer,
      "MaximumRetryAttempts" : Integer,
      "ParallelizationFactor" : Integer,
      "StartingPosition" : String
    }
}

Properties

BatchSize

The maximum number of items to retrieve in a single batch.

  • Amazon Kinesis - Default 100. Max 10,000.

  • Amazon DynamoDB Streams - Default 100. Max 1,000.

  • Amazon Simple Queue Service - Default 10. Max 10.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10000

Update requires: No interruption

BisectBatchOnFunctionError

(Streams) If the function returns an error, split the batch in two and retry.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

DestinationConfig

(Streams) An Amazon SQS queue or Amazon SNS topic destination for discarded records.

Required: No

Type: DestinationConfig

Update requires: No interruption

Enabled

If true, the event source mapping is active. Set to false to pause polling and invocation.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

EventSourceArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the event source.

  • Amazon Kinesis - The ARN of the data stream or a stream consumer.

  • Amazon DynamoDB Streams - The ARN of the stream.

  • Amazon Simple Queue Service - The ARN of the queue.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: arn:(aws[a-zA-Z0-9-]*):([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+:([a-z]{2}(-gov)?-[a-z]+-\d{1})?:(\d{12})?:(.*)

Update requires: Replacement

FunctionName

The name of the Lambda function.

Name formats

  • Function name - MyFunction.

  • Function ARN - arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:MyFunction.

  • Version or Alias ARN - arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:MyFunction:PROD.

  • Partial ARN - 123456789012:function:MyFunction.

The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it's limited to 64 characters in length.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 140

Pattern: (arn:(aws[a-zA-Z-]*)?:lambda:)?([a-z]{2}(-gov)?-[a-z]+-\d{1}:)?(\d{12}:)?(function:)?([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)(:(\$LATEST|[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+))?

Update requires: No interruption

MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds

(Streams) The maximum amount of time to gather records before invoking the function, in seconds.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Maximum: 300

Update requires: No interruption

MaximumRecordAgeInSeconds

(Streams) The maximum age of a record that Lambda sends to a function for processing.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 60

Maximum: 604800

Update requires: No interruption

MaximumRetryAttempts

(Streams) The maximum number of times to retry when the function returns an error.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 10000

Update requires: No interruption

ParallelizationFactor

(Streams) The number of batches to process from each shard concurrently.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

Update requires: No interruption

StartingPosition

The position in a stream from which to start reading. Required for Amazon Kinesis and Amazon DynamoDB Streams sources.

  • LATEST - Read only new records.

  • TRIM_HORIZON - Process all available records.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the mapping's ID.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.
