Example 1: To invoke a Lambda function synchronously

The following invoke example invokes the my-function function synchronously. The cli-binary-format option is required if you're using Amazon CLI version 2. For more information, see Amazon CLI supported global command line options in the Amazon Command Line Interface User Guide.

aws lambda invoke \
    --function-name my-function \
    --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
    --payload '{ "name": "Bob" }' \
    response.json

Output:

{
    "ExecutedVersion": "$LATEST",
    "StatusCode": 200
}

For more information, see Synchronous Invocation in the Amazon Lambda Developer Guide.

Example 2: To invoke a Lambda function asynchronously

The following invoke example invokes the my-function function asynchronously. The cli-binary-format option is required if you're using Amazon CLI version 2. For more information, see Amazon CLI supported global command line options in the Amazon Command Line Interface User Guide.

aws lambda invoke \
    --function-name my-function \
    --invocation-type Event \
    --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
    --payload '{ "name": "Bob" }' \
    response.json

Output:

{
    "StatusCode": 202
}

For more information, see Asynchronous Invocation in the Amazon Lambda Developer Guide.
