Amazon Exam DVA-C02 Topic 3 Question 51 Discussion
Topic #: 3
A company is using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to develop a social media application. A developer needs a quick way to test AWS Lambda functions locally by using test event payloads. The developer needs the structure of these test event payloads to match the actual events that AWS services create.
Comprehensive Detailed Step by Step Explanation with All AWS Developer Reference:
The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) includes features for local testing and debugging of AWS Lambda functions. One of the most efficient ways to generate test payloads that match actual AWS event structures is by using the sam local generate-event command.
sam local generate-event: This command allows developers to create pre-configured test event payloads for various AWS services (e.g., S3, API Gateway, SNS). These generated events accurately reflect the format that the service would use in a live environment, reducing the manual work required to create these events from scratch.
Operational Overhead: This approach reduces overhead since the developer does not need to manually create or maintain test events. It ensures that the structure is correct and up-to-date with the latest AWS standards.
Alternatives:
Option A suggests using shareable test events, but manually creating or sharing these events introduces more overhead.
Option B and C both involve manually storing and maintaining test events, which adds unnecessary complexity compared to using sam local generate-event.
