Pulumi doesn't support being run in lambdas or other serverless code. You need to fall back to the AWS SDK for that.

They do provide some wrappers to make that a bit easier. Onesec I'll get an example.

Nope, lost them, I've refactored my code to use the SDK directly.

The dependencies would be correctly resolved if I used an inline function though right? Instead of in a separate file.

The modules are not available when running on AWS lambdas. They're not packaged up into the zip file that's uploaded to lambda.

I see. So the only solution really is to use the aws sdk as you say?

Anything that can be inlined (constant values, etc.) is fine. And there's some Pulumi wrappers to enable accessing SDK functions via Pulumi imports (which is what I mentioned earlier).

Just trying to find an example of that now...

Thanks. But the AWS SDK is available inside a lambda right?

Yes, that's available to all serverless code, for free. Doesn't need to be uploaded, it's magically there.

Ah found an example: <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-scheduled-function/index.ts>
See line 14.

```import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
 // ...
  const s3Client = new aws.sdk.S3();
// ...```

That s3 client is the SDK, but you don't need to import the SDK into your Pulumi code if you do it this way.

The sdk package in @pulumi/aws does not seem to be there anymore. Has this recently changed or something? I guess I need to import ‘aws-sdk’ instead.
