Greengrass Lambda failing to start due to log pipe blocked

If you are starting a new deployment on Greengrass V2 I would advice to use Generic components and not Lambda Functions components.

A generic component is simpler to write and debug and can more easily access devices resources if needed (such as cameras, etc).

All you need to do to trigger some logic on the reception of a message is to create a subscription to the pubsub topic and write the corresponding handler. You can refer to this sample code (from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/ipc-publish-subscribe.html#ipc-publish-subscribe-examples)

import time
import traceback

from awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.clientv2 import GreengrassCoreIPCClientV2
from awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.model import (
    SubscriptionResponseMessage,
    UnauthorizedError
)


def main():
    topic = 'my/topic';

    try:
        ipc_client = GreengrassCoreIPCClientV2()
        # Subscription operations return a tuple with the response and the operation.
        _, operation = ipc_client.subscribe_to_topic(topic=topic, on_stream_event=on_stream_event,
                                                     on_stream_error=on_stream_error)
        print('Successfully subscribed to topic: ' + topic)

        # Keep the main thread alive, or the process will exit.
        try:
            while True:
                time.sleep(10)
        except InterruptedError:
            print('Subscribe interrupted.')

        # To stop subscribing, close the stream.
        operation.close()
    except UnauthorizedError:
        print('Unauthorized error while subscribing to topic: ' +
              topic, file=sys.stderr)
        traceback.print_exc()
        exit(1)
    except Exception:
        print('Exception occurred', file=sys.stderr)
        traceback.print_exc()
        exit(1)


def on_stream_event(event: SubscriptionResponseMessage) -> None:
    try:
        message = str(event.binary_message.message, 'utf-8')
        topic = event.binary_message.context.topic
        print('Received new message on topic %s: %s' % (topic, message))
    except:
        traceback.print_exc()


def on_stream_error(error: Exception) -> bool:
    print('Received a stream error.', file=sys.stderr)
    traceback.print_exc()
    return False  # Return True to close stream, False to keep stream open.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
