Lambda PrintPayloadToLogs Function

from __future__ import print_function

import json
import urllib
import boto3

print('Loading function')

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    #print("Received event: " + json.dumps(event, indent=2))
    print(event)
    print(context)
    return event

# Code commentary:
# ·         I’m importing more than I have to, but I find that I use these often when testing.
# ·         Using the ‘print()’ function, I’m writing directly to CloudWatch logs.  This is very helpful for troubleshooting.
# ·         Line: ‘def lambda_handler(event, context):’  is what allows you to view and manipulate the payload, which is the event.  This function also comes with a second argument ‘context’.
# ·         There are many use-cases for Lambda, but I find a good first step to print both the event and context to logs and move forward from there.
