Code examples for Lambda using Amazon SDKs
The following code examples show how to use Lambda with an Amazon software development kit (SDK).
Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions
show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios and
cross-service examples.
Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by
calling multiple functions within the same service.
Cross-service examples are sample applications that work across multiple Amazon Web Services.
For a complete list of Amazon SDK developer guides and code examples, see
Using Lambda with an Amazon SDK.
This topic also includes information about getting started and details about previous SDK versions.
Get started
The following code examples show how to get started using Lambda.
- .NET
-
- Amazon SDK for .NET
-
namespace LambdaActions;
using Amazon.Lambda;
public class HelloLambda
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var lambdaClient = new AmazonLambdaClient();
Console.WriteLine("Hello AWS Lambda");
Console.WriteLine("Let's get started with AWS Lambda by listing your existing Lambda functions:");
var response = await lambdaClient.ListFunctionsAsync();
response.Functions.ForEach(function =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"{function.FunctionName}\t{function.Description}");
});
}
