Move awslambda HttpResponseStream/streamifyResponse to the aws-sdk or its own package? #74
Description
The fact that streamifyResponse and HttpResponseStream are only available embedded in the runtime makes it difficult to write simple, coherent unit tests for streaming lambda handlers. There's been at least one good attempt to create a wrapper to support easy testing, but it's not completely interface compatible (lacking, for example, the HttpResponseStream.from(underlyingStream, prelude) method) and it seems wasteful to rewrite/repackage code that's already written just to unbundle it from the rest of the NodeJS runtime.

Agreed. Having hard time getting any typings and proper tests. At the same time, it seems like it's still under development and we are experiencing changes in behaviour multiple times a week for a past month. Any more details, examples, etc. would be appreciated.

Does anybody know if
streamifyResponseorHttpResponseStreamis actually documented anywhere!? I only heard about them after prompting an LLM to death but it's exactly what I need, but would like docs...mbklein commentedon May 30, 2025
This is all the documentation I've found.

Yeah, that's all I could find too — learning fast that AWS/Lambda can be a bit of a wild west 😅
