How do I invoke serverless functions on AWS using Go?

Invoking serverless functions on AWS (AWS Lambda) using Go can be efficiently done using the AWS SDK for Go. Below, you will find a simple example of how to set this up and invoke a Lambda function.

This guide demonstrates how to use the AWS SDK for Go to invoke serverless functions with AWS Lambda, simplifying your cloud function workflows.

Here’s an example of invoking a Lambda function in Go:


        package main

        import (
            "context"
            "encoding/json"
            "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
            "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
            "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/lambda"
            "log"
        )

        func main() {
            // Create a session to AWS
            sess := session.Must(session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
                Region: aws.String("us-west-2"),
            }))

            // Create a Lambda service client
            svc := lambda.New(sess)

            // Prepare the payload to pass to the Lambda function
            payload := map[string]string{
                "key": "value",
            }

            // Marshal the payload to JSON
            body, err := json.Marshal(payload)
            if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("failed to marshal request: %v", err)
            }

            // Create the invocation input
            input := &lambda.InvokeInput{
                FunctionName: aws.String("myLambdaFunction"),
                Payload:      body,
            }

            // Invoke the function
            result, err := svc.InvokeWithContext(context.Background(), input)
            if err != nil {
                log.Fatalf("failed to invoke function: %v", err)
            }

            // Log the response
            log.Printf("Response: %s", string(result.Payload))
        }
