Serverless error - unsupported function event - Kafka msk

I have the following configuration for serverless Lambda which is supposed to be triggered by a Kafka MSK.

Using Serverless 2.72.2

Yet when deploying I get the error event[0] unsupported function event

  kafkaConsumer:
    role: 'some_arn'
    handler: kafkaConsumer.trigger
    name: some-kafka-consumer
    events:
      - msk:
          arn: 'kafka_cluster_arn'
          topic: 'kafka_topic_name'

Please advise what I'm not configuring properly.

Solution

  • it seems like you might be using a version of the Framework that does not support msk event definition. It was added in 2.3.0 release: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#230-2020-09-25
