<@UB8A66MPS> What exactly do you mean by "a plain `aws.lambda.Function` resource"?

Is this what you had in mind? <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-stepfunctions/index.ts#L69-L83>

<@UB3BGTV63> I really mean is there a way to do the typescript function capture while using `aws.lambda.Function` instead of `aws.serverless.Function` in order to get the full range of options

With a Raw 'aws.lambda.Function', the answer would be 'no'.  Primarily, because that's the resource type we have that is a 1:1 mapping to a normal AWS Lambda.   However, we also have "aws.serverless.Function" which is a very thin wrapper around that, and which supports passing a simple Javascript callback.

the code here is actually pretty simple, and you can see how it works here:  <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/serverless/function.ts>

1. which options are you missing?  (we can just fix up aws.serverless.Function to allow all appropriate aws.lambda options)

2. you could just replicate what aws.serverless.Function does.  but, it would be preferable to not have to do that :slightly_smiling_face:

right now, it's a bit silly that there is a FunctionArgs type, and a FunctionOptions type.  and that we only pass things along that we know about.  I can def fix that up so you can continue using aws.serverless.Function, while hopefully not having any impedance mismatch.  Let me which up a PR for htat.

<@UB9JVTW07> Thanks: I’ll ping back either later today or tomorrow - have to go catch a plane :slightly_smiling_face: Understood re: the options though.

(Also, thanks <@UB3BGTV63> &amp; <@U84HBHXS8>)
