Hi - I have a pretty simple task that I can’t seem to find an example for. I want to use a Pulumi project with AWS to pull data from an API service (via lambda function, step function, or other aws service) and store the returned JSON into a database (lets say DynamoDB). Can anyone refer me to an example? In particular I am not finding anything for pulling data from an API service.

That isn't a Pulumi action. You'll need to write that using the normal AWS SDK.

Pulumi is for configuring and creating infrastructure, not using it.

Yes but if I’m constantly redeploying my stacks with Pulumi, don’t I need to be building and rebuilding my lambda from Pulumi?

If I build the lambda apart from Pulumi I’m just going to have two sources of truth for my infrastructure

You can put the lambda code in (or beside) your Pulumi code, but it's still not a Pulumi library call that you need to make. It's an AWS SDK call.
