You have to use the amplify add function this will create a function directory where you can have a javascript file. This will basically become your lambda function. When this is created do amplify push and you will see the lambda function in your AWS Console. To run this function you can use invoke lambda function in your project.

hey if this is a new app i would suggest using Amplify Gen 2 . You can use Amplify Gen 1 to do this but often you may need added functionality which may not be easier in Gen 1 with Gen 2 using CDK this should be more flexible. For example:
