AWS The different types of Lambda triggers

Lambda functions can be “triggered” by the following type of events:
Note: after creating a Lambda function the AWS Lambda wizard navigates to a page to define triggers (events that trigger Lambda functions) on the left hand side of the page you select your triggers.  The list is below.

Add triggers

Click on a trigger from the list below to add it to your function.

API Gateway
CloudWatch Events
CloudWatch Logs
CodeCommit
DynamoDB
Kinesis
S3
SNS
It is worth adding that some events are pushed to Lambda and other events are pulled (polled).
DynamoDB Streams and Kinesis are pull based, and all others are pushed to Lambda.
