+# Lambda Durable Function - REST API Call with Node.js
+
+This pattern demonstrates a Lambda durable function that calls an external REST API using Node.js.
+
+Learn more about this pattern at Serverless Land Patterns: << Add the live URL here >>
+
+Important: this application uses various AWS services and there are costs associated with these services after the Free Tier usage - please see the [AWS Pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/) for details. You are responsible for any AWS costs incurred. No warranty is implied in this example.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* [Create an AWS account](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/registration/index.html) if you do not already have one and log in. The IAM user that you use must have sufficient permissions to make necessary AWS service calls and manage AWS resources.
+* [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html) installed and configured
+* [Git Installed](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+* [AWS Serverless Application Model](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-install.html) (AWS SAM) installed
+
+## Deployment Instructions
+
+1. Create a new directory, navigate to that directory in a terminal and clone the GitHub repository:
+    ``` 
+    git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns
+    ```
+1. Change directory to the pattern directory:
+    ```
+    cd lambda-durable-rest-api-sam-js
+    ```
+
+1. From the command line, use AWS SAM to deploy the AWS resources for the pattern as specified in the template.yml file:
+    ```
+    sam build
+    sam deploy --guided
+    ```
+1. During the prompts:
+    * Enter a stack name
+    * Enter the desired AWS Region
+    * Allow SAM CLI to create IAM roles with the required permissions.
+
+    Once you have run `sam deploy --guided` mode once and saved arguments to a configuration file (samconfig.toml), you can use `sam deploy` in future to use these defaults.
+
+1. Note the outputs from the SAM deployment process. These contain the resource names and/or ARNs which are used for testing.
+
+## How it works
+
+This pattern demonstrates AWS Lambda Durable Execution for calling external REST APIs. It uses the AWS Durable Execution SDK to create a durable function that can:
+
+**AWS Durable Execution Features:**
+- **Automatic State Management**: AWS manages execution state across invocations
+- **Durable Steps**: The `context.step()` method marks functions that can be retried automatically
+- **Durable Waits**: Use `context.wait()` to pause execution without consuming CPU or memory
+- **Built-in Retry Logic**: Failed steps are automatically retried by AWS
+- **Execution History**: AWS tracks the complete execution history and state
+
+The function uses the `withDurableExecution` wrapper to mark the Lambda handler as a durable execution workflow. All steps defined with `context.step()` are automatically retryable.
+
+AWS Lambda Durable Execution automatically handles failures, retries, and state persistence without requiring external services like DynamoDB or Step Functions.
+
+**Note**: This pattern requires Node.js 24.x runtime which has native support for durable execution.
+
+## Testing
+
+1. Get the function name from the stack outputs:
+```bash
+aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <your-stack-name> \
+  --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`FunctionName`].OutputValue' --output text
+```
+
+2. Invoke the function with default URL:
+```bash
+aws lambda invoke \
+  --function-name <function-name> \
+  --payload '{}' \
+  response.json && cat response.json
+```
+
+3. Invoke with a custom URL:
+```bash
+aws lambda invoke \
+  --function-name <function-name> \
+  --payload '{"url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1"}' \
+  response.json && cat response.json
+```
+
+Example JSON Lambda test event:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
+}
+```
+
+Expected response (success):
+```json
+{
+  "statusCode": 200,
+  "headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
+  "body": "{\"message\": \"API call successful\", \"url\": \"https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1\", \"data\": {...}}"
+}
+```
+
+The execution is durable - if the API call fails, AWS Lambda will automatically retry the `callRestApi` step without re-executing the entire function.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+1. Delete the stack:
+    ```bash
+    aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <your-stack-name>
+    ```
+1. Confirm the stack has been deleted:
+    ```bash
+    aws cloudformation list-stacks --query "StackSummaries[?contains(StackName,'<your-stack-name>')].StackStatus"
+    ```
