Invoke Lambda function from AWS DataPipeline

Question

Is there a way to invoke a Lambda function from AWS DataPipeline? Looking at the activities available, there isn't a direct way to invoke a lambda from DataPipeline.

Answer 1

Technically speaking, you would use a shellCommandActivity to do this but this isn't the right service for what I think the use case is. You may be more interested in step functions. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/tutorial-creating-lambda-state-machine.html
