How do I invoke a Lambda from another Lambda in AWS?
Learn how to call one Lambda from another AWS Lambda function in the AWS management console.
The size and runtime restrictions imposed on Lambdas mean that large jobs will need to be divided into multiple Lambdas. In this video, Jon Gallagher demonstrates how to include parameters in one Lambda to be read by another, and explains how to set up the correct permissions to enable communication between Lambdas. Developers, administrators, and architects with access to github and the AWS Management Console will learn how parameters are passed to Lambda functions and how the parameters can be manipulated by the calling Lambda.
