Integration Tests in AWS Lambda

Question

We have a microservice code repo in AWS code commit, we use code pipeline and code build to build the project and deploy into lambda. We run unit tests as part of build itself. Now, I want to run the integration tests in the pipeline itself after the code deployed to lambda. If anyone setup such integration test suite in the aws code pipeline, kindly provide us some reference for the setup. It would be super helpful.

Answer

If you use CodeDeploy to deploy your code, you can use another lambda to run your test. You can configure if to run the test before or after allowing traffic, in the section `hooks` in your `appspec.yml` file. You can find more information on the documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/reference-appspec-file-structure-hooks.html#appspec-hooks-lambda
