Set up asynchronous invocation of the backend Lambda function Guide is outdated

[notAmine]

Hello, the steps present in the guide here are outdated since the API gateway is different now, is it possible to update this to hold the new steps to follow? Thanks;

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Were there any specific things that you struggled with or found to be outdated?

Hi, Yes I believe since the guide was published there was a change in the API gateway console UI, specifically, I don't see the tabs: Method Request & Integration Request mentioned in the steps:

Configure Lambda asynchronous invocation in the API Gateway console

For all invocations to be asynchronous:

In Integration Request, add an X-Amz-Invocation-Type header with a static value of 'Event'.

For clients to decide if invocations are asynchronous or synchronous:

In Method Request, add an InvocationType header.

In Integration Request add an X-Amz-Invocation-Type header with a mapping expression of method.request.header.InvocationType.

Clients can include the InvocationType: Event header in API requests for asynchronous invocations or InvocationType: RequestResponse for synchronous invocations.

I also tried to follow this instructions but UI does not match. @notAmine and others: were you able to setup this asynchronous lambda invocation? Any idea on how to do it?

[mcdwil]

Sorry for the delayed response. I'd suggest double checking that you're using a REST API and not an HTTP API. Set up asynchronous invocation of the backend Lambda function has also recently been updated to include more examples. Hope that helps!

Oh good to know I'm way past that project now but thanks for the closure :)
