Concepts
The @pulumi/aws package provides a strongly-typed means to create cloud applications that create and interact closely
with AWS resources. Resources are exposed for the entirety of AWS resources and their properties, including (but not
limited to), 'apigateway', 'cloudformation', 'EC2', 'ECS', 'iam', 'lambda', etc. Many convenience APIs have also been
added to make development easier and to help avoid common mistakes, and to get stronger typing.
Serverless Functions
The aws.serverless.Function class allows you to create an AWS lambda function directly out of a JavaScript/TypeScript
function object of the right signature. This allows a Pulumi program to simply define a lambda using a simple lambda in
the language of choice, while having Pulumi itself do the appropriate transformation into the final AWS Lambda resource.
This makes many APIs easier to use, such as defining a Lambda to execute when an S3 Bucket is manipulated,
or a CloudWatch timer is fired. To see some examples of this in action, please refer to the examples/ directory.
The pulumi/pulumi-cloud repo offer higher level abstractions that build on top
of this underlying capability.
