<@U03DVRNK7FT> are you using Pulumi INSIDE your lambda function?

Yeah, I have read that it's not  possible. I should use pulumi to orchestrate deployment, but in order to -say - use dynamodb, kinesis, i should use aws-sdk libs, right ?

You can do it, but you need to use the lambda container functionality 

I can put an example together if it helps?

I have to pack the lambda in a docker image ? I have seen that option

Yeah, because you need the Pulumi cli as well 

That'd be absolutely fantastic, thanks :)

But feel free to just point me to a (valid) example, don't wanna bother you :slightly_smiling_face:

What are you specifically trying to deploy from inside the function? 

Well, I have a few lambdas, but consider one lambda receiving an `event` payload which tries optimistically to store to dynamodb. I was also trying to write a second version, pushing the payload to kinesis

that endpoint should be used as an datapoint ingestion endpoint

Okay, I suspect there might be a disconnect on what Pulumi can do. It's not an SDK to store into dynamo or kineses, it's designed to provision infrastructure declaratively 

Reasonable, I am learning but I am in a validation step, so I am a bit on the run
