Experimenting with AWS API Gateway default response and triggering AWS Lambda

0 votes

I have been trying to use AWS API Gateway and AWS Lambda to implement a  serverless architecture. Have been going through various blogs and AWS documentation. Even  tried out sample GET/POST operations. But, I have the following requirements w.r.t tracking user events from my custom application:

  • Events are posted from my application to API end point
  • I wanted the API to respond back with a custom response(acknowledging that the request has been received)
  • After the response is sent, hand over the event payload to a AWS Lambda function

 As per the documentation, I understand, a) I can post events to API end point b) On GET/POST trigger an AWS Lambda Function - Respond back from AWS Lambda function to API request.

But what i want is 

a) Post events to API end point a.0) Respond back acknowledging that request is received [Say {'fine'} ] b) Trigger AWS Lambda function to process the event payload.

Any kind of suggestions are welcome.

You can try out the following steps 

  1. Post an event to an API Gateway endpoint
  2. Trigger an AWS Lambda Function A
  3. Call asynchronously a Lambda Function B using the AWS SDK in the Lambda Function A
  4. Call context.succeed() or context.done() or the callback function in the Lambda Function Aso it respond back to API Gateway
  5. The Lambda Function B can process the data while API Gateway already received a response
