AWS Lambda Context Object in Node.js

When Lambda runs your function, it passes a context object to the handler. This object provides methods and properties that provide information about the invocation, function, and execution environment.

Context Methods

  • getRemainingTimeInMillis() – Returns the number of milliseconds left before the execution times out.

Context Properties

  • functionName – The name of the Lambda function.
  • functionVersion – The version of the function.
  • invokedFunctionArn – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) used to invoke the function. Indicates if the invoker specified a version number or alias.
  • memoryLimitInMB – The amount of memory configured on the function.
  • awsRequestId – The identifier of the invocation request.
  • logGroupName – The log group for the function.
  • logStreamName – The log stream for the function instance.
  • identity – (mobile apps) Information about the Amazon Cognito identity that authorized the request.
    • cognitoIdentityId – The authenticated Amazon Cognito identity.
    • cognitoIdentityPoolId – The Amazon Cognito identity pool that authorized the invocation.
  • clientContext – (mobile apps) Client context provided to the Lambda invoker by the client application.
    • client.installation_id
    • client.app_title
    • client.app_version_name
    • client.app_version_code
    • client.app_package_name
    • env.platform_version
    • env.platform
    • env.make
    • env.model
    • env.locale
    • Custom – Custom values set by the mobile application.
  • callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop – Set to false to send the response right away when the callback executes, instead of waiting for the Node.js event loop to be empty. If false, any outstanding events will continue to run during the next invocation.

The following example shows a handler function that logs context information.

Example index.js

exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
    console.log('remaining time =', context.getRemainingTimeInMillis());
    console.log('functionName =', context.functionName);
    console.log('AWSrequestID =', context.awsRequestId);
    callback(null, context.functionName);
};
