Lambda event sources

Lambda integrates with more than 140 AWS services via direct integration and the Amazon EventBridge event bus. The commonly used Lambda event sources are:

• Amazon API Gateway

• Amazon CloudWatch Events

• Amazon CloudWatch Logs

• Amazon DynamoDB Streams

• Amazon EventBridge

• Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

• Amazon S3

• Amazon SNS

• Amazon SQS

• AWS Step Functions

With these event sources, you can:

• Use AWS IAM to manage access to the service and resources securely.

• Encrypt your data at-rest. All services encrypt data in transit.

• Access from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud using VPC endpoints (powered by AWS PrivateLink.

• Use Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights to collect, report, and alarm on metrics.

• Use AWS CloudTrail to log, continuously monitor, and retain account activity related to actions across your AWS infrastructure, providing a complete event history of actions taken through the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, command line tools, and other AWS services.
