AWS Lambda
is commonly being used together with other AWS Services such asDynamoDB
,S3
andSQS
.- Conventional
Python
Unit Testing is not sufficient to perform unit test onAWS Lambda Python
as it requires integration with AWS Services.
- Provides an example how AWS Services (e.g. DynamoDB) can be mocked to allow Unit Testing on
AWS Lambda Python
. - Provides an example how
AWS CDK
is used together in this project as demostration ofIAC
together withAWS Lambda Python

The cdk.json
file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.
This project is set up like a standard Python project. The initialization
process also creates a virtualenv within this project, stored under the .venv
directory. To create the virtualenv it assumes that there is a python3
(or python
for Windows) executable in your path with access to the venv
package. If for any reason the automatic creation of the virtualenv fails,
you can create the virtualenv manually.
To manually create a virtualenv on MacOS and Linux:
$ python3 -m venv .venv
After the init process completes and the virtualenv is created, you can use the following step to activate your virtualenv.
$ source .venv/bin/activate
If you are a Windows platform, you would activate the virtualenv like this:
% .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Once the virtualenv is activated, you can install the required dependencies.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
At this point you can now synthesize the CloudFormation template for this code.
$ cdk synth
To add additional dependencies, for example other CDK libraries, just add
them to your setup.py
file and rerun the pip install -r requirements.txt
command.
