AWS Lambda Function is returning Handler 'handler' missing on module 'index'

Consider following code - 

function index(event, context, callback) {
  //some code
}
exports.handler = index();

{
  "errorMessage": "Handler 'handler' missing on module 'index'"
}

This is my function which is having business logic. My javascript file name is index.js.

Whenever I test this code on aws lambda, It gives following log(failed).

This is a screenshot of the Amazon Lambda Upload Site: enter image description here

You may have incorrectly specified your handler as "index.js" instead of "index.handler"

What you can do is to declare your function as the exports.handler. When your function exports to lambda, it comes with the namespace.

exports.handler = function(event, context) {
    //code
}

You can ignore the callback if you want fast code.

In export.handler, you are not referencing the index function, but the result of its execution. I guess you want to export the function itself.

let index = function index(event, context, callback) {
  //some code
}
exports.handler = index;

Or maybe directly

exports.handler = function index(event, context, callback) {
  //some code
}
