…en wrapper added

Two goals with this PR:

  • allow users of lambda wrappers to use custom types in their handlers (along with simple types and build-in events)
  • add wrapper for SQS event handler

Do we know that our OBJECT_MAPPER is configured the same as Lambda?

Unfortunately no guarantees here. Haven't seen an official spec by AWS guys regarding how the JSON is mapped in their code.

event = new APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent();
event.setBody(OBJECT_MAPPER.writeValueAsString(result));
} catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Could not serialize return value.", e);

These exceptions seem worrisome, are we sure we won't break the app?

The silver lining here is that if the wrapper is unable to map to a custom type, the user can still use the "APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent" and avoid mapping on the wrapper side entirely. So in the worst case it will work exactly the same way it does right now.

I think it still means we have the possibility of breaking the lambda just by the presence of a lambda layer such as the opentelemetry-lambda ones. I don't think it's good to have the possibility of adding crashing.

That being said I guess I can't find any alternative unfortunately. It's too bad the Context object doesn't provide information about HTTP requests...

Is it at least beneficial to split into one where the target handler is proxy that doesn't have any mapping and this one that does for custom return type?

It's implemented (kind of) this way - mapping ins only done if the return type of the handler is different than APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent. So if the wrapper mapping causes issues, the user can always switch to return the event. In other words both with input and result if the new wrapper breaks, user can implement own handler to input / return the event - and everything will work the same way it did (no mapping if no custom type used).

I'm surprised this non-API Gateway class (so not populating HTTP attrs) is mapping, does it need to?

With our wrapper requesting Object input type, AWS will (out of my testing):

  • invoke with value in case of primitive values
  • invoke with Map<String, Object> in case of custom types
    So in order to support pre-mapped custom types we need to map the Map into appropriate class.
