First code example

AWS have made a breaking change to their "AWS CLI" tool in 'major version' AWS CLI V2. If you are using AWS CLI V2, and calling the "aws lambda invoke" command with an inline payload (as we do in the example on this page) you must also add the argument "--cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out" .

If you don't do this you will see an error like: 'Invalid base64: ""world""'
