Lambda function returning headers and statuscode as json nodejs

I am working with a NodeJS Lambda function and when I invoke it I get this as the result:

{
  "body": "{\"message\":\"Hello from Lambda!\"}"
}

It seems as if the response is not being parsed correctly, because according to what I've seen the response should just be the hello world string. This is the code I have with the function.

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  // TODO implement
  const response = {
      body: JSON.stringify({
          message: "Hello from Lambda!",
      }),
  };

  return response;
};

Which is the default code AWS gives you when creating a function. Does anyone know what might be the issue here?

The return value is exactly what you return. If you just want to return "Hello from Lambda" then your function should be:

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  return "Hello from Lambda!";
};
