This is a two part lab. In part one of the lab, you will create a Lambda function from a blueprint, create an Amazon Kinesis Stream, then trigger the function with data from your stream and monitor the process with Amazon CloudWatch. In part two of the lab, you will learn the basics of event-driven programming using Amazon DynamoDB, its Streams feature, and AWS Lambda. You will walk through the process of building a real-world application using AWS Triggers, which combines DynamoDB Streams and Lambda. Prerequisites: To successfully complete this lab, you should be familiar with DynamoDB and Kinesis through taking those introductory labs. Node.js and Python programming are required, although full solution code is provided. You should have at a minimum taken the Introduction to AWS Lambda lab.
