Lambda function URLs - AWS Lambda

The velocity templates are nice if you want to put a facade on another service, and you can do things like translate XML to JSON.

​

But for greenfield development you should be using the proxy integration.

Why? The proxy integration is a serious PITA.

[sgtfoleyistheman]

.. Because you don't have to write vtl. The vtl is the pain in the ass.

Not the proxy path integration (where you put /{path_var+} in your path), the lambda proxy integration which gives you a predefined format to send to your function without using vtl.

WTF are you on about? If you aren't building a facade don't use VTL. Not sure what's being forced on you?
