Invoke AWS Lambda and return response to API Gateway asyncronously

Question

My use case is such that I\'ll have an AWS Lambda front ended with API Gateway.

My requirement is that once the Lambda is invoked it should return a 200 OK response

Answer 1

Check the answer here on how to set up an Async Invoke to the Lambda function. This will return 200 immediately to the client, but the Lambda will process on it's own asynchronously.
