Support for AWS Lambda functions

Hi @severb,

Do you plan on supporting the Lambda function calls ?

Cheers,

That's an interesting idea. I haven't explored this possibility although I see this kind of integration is supported (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2015/08/trigger-aws-lambda-functions-using-amazon-simple-workflow/).

In theory it should be easy to do it. Unfortunately I don't have enough bandwidth to do any real progress on it right now. If you're willing to give it a try I can offer you guidance if needed.

@severb I can make some progress on this issue, it's actually pretty simple in boto. I see that this project hasn't really been moving , and I think there is a need. Any chance I can start maintaining it?

@cjpetrus I'm more than willing to accept PR for integrating with AWS Lambda. AFAIK there are other persons interested in adding this feature, but haven't seen any actual code yet.

As to maintaining the project, that would be awesome! I'm not using it anymore on a day-to-day basis, but I know that it's still (heavily?) used in production in other places. I think the best course of action would be to start with a few pull requests at first and we'll see how it goes.

Awesome, I'll submit a PR < 6 hrs. I already have alot of this functionality built out.
