Invoking a Lambda function from an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster

You can invoke an Amazon Lambda function from an Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition DB cluster with the native function lambda_sync or lambda_async. Before invoking a Lambda function from an Aurora MySQL, the Aurora DB cluster must have access to Lambda. For details about granting access to Aurora MySQL, see Giving Aurora access to Lambda. For information about the lambda_sync and lambda_async stored functions, see Invoking a Lambda function with an Aurora MySQL native function.

You can also call an Amazon Lambda function by using a stored procedure. However, using a stored procedure is deprecated. We strongly recommend using an Aurora MySQL native function if you are using one of the following Aurora MySQL versions:

  • Aurora MySQL version 2, for MySQL 5.7-compatible clusters.

  • Aurora MySQL version 3.01 and higher, for MySQL 8.0-compatible clusters. The stored procedure isn't available in Aurora MySQL version 3.

For information about giving Aurora access to Lambda and invoking a Lambda function, see the following topics.
