Feature Proposal

Description

I think it would be useful to have ability to specify lambda version or aliases in api gateway configuration. As a use case consider situation when lambda have non backward compatible changes in request/response structure.

How about new attributes version and alias under functions.{name}.events.http, so it would look like this:

functions:
  execute:
    handler: src.execute_model.lambda_handler
    description: Execute model
    events:
      - http:
          path: /api/v1/model
          version: 1
          method: POST
      - http:
          path: /api/v2/model
          method: POST

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how HTTP events are configured for AWS API Gateway, then determine how the requested version and alias attributes should be represented and validated; done means both attributes can select the Lambda version or alias for an HTTP event without changing existing configurations.
