Configure a topic subscription to invoke a Lambda function

You can invoke a Lambda function using event notifications published to your Amazon SNS topic. When configuring the matchmaker, be sure to set the notification target to your SNS topic's ARN.

The following Amazon CloudFormation template configures a subscription to an SNS topic named MyFlexMatchEventTopic to invoke a Lambda function named FlexMatchEventHandlerLambdaFunction. The template creates an IAM permissions policy that allows Amazon GameLift Servers to write to the SNS topic. The template then adds permissions for the SNS topic to invoke the Lambda function.

FlexMatchEventTopic:
  Type: "AWS::SNS::Topic"
  Properties:
    KmsMasterKeyId: alias/aws/sns #Enables server-side encryption on the topic using an Amazon managed key 
    Subscription:
      - Endpoint: !GetAtt FlexMatchEventHandlerLambdaFunction.Arn
        Protocol: lambda
    TopicName: MyFlexMatchEventTopic
