@hnishar I can help with this pattern, you could assign this to me

[surukonda]

thanks @hnishar, can we rename the construct to aws-applicationloadbalancer-lambda? Makes it inline with AWS Application Load Balancer service name.

Would it make sense to call this aws-alb-lambda just like aws-sns-lambda, aws-sqs-lambda?

This would a be a nice pattern to have, currently migrating from ALB -> EC2 to ALB -> Lambda on a high throughput service where APIGW is too expensive

[biffgaut]

While it was commonly used, the ELB team did not widely adopt the term ALB until recently - the docs all fully spelled out Application Load Balancer. Looking now, it's clear they have embraced the ALB term at this point - so it aws-alb-lambda would be a better name for this construct.

@hnishar @biffgaut - I have made around 80% progress on this feature request, if no one is working on this, I can resume my work. I had to pause this work for a while since I was busy with my project. Please let me know.
