Feature request: Event Source Data Class for CloudWatch custom connector

[corey-cole]

Use case

CloudWatch metrics/alarms now support non-CloudWatch sources via an adapter Lambda function. The request/response structures are complex enough that they would benefit from having a strongly typed wrapper.

Solution/User Experience

The aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.data_classes namespace includes type for the new GetMetricData event and the corresponding MetricDataResults response.

NOTE: Although the event shares a name with an existing API call, it does not have the same structure and the existing definitions cannot be used here.

Acknowledgment

• This feature request meets Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) Tenets
• Should this be considered in other Powertools for AWS Lambda languages? i.e. Java, TypeScript, and .NET

Hello everyone! This feature is not planned for v2. We will add support for this after we release v3.

Adding tags to keep an eye on this.
