How to invoke AWS lambda while running EventGateway locally - serverless-framework

Question

I am trying to invoke an AWS Lambda function from a locally running EventGateway (version: 0.9.1) instance. However, the subscription call is failing due to an "Event Type: http.request not found".
The lambda has been deployed independently using serverless framework, and the ARN has been injected in the registration call:
The lambda is just a hello world type of lambda listening for http request:
functions:
hello-world:
handler: bin/hello-serverless
events:
- http:
path: /hello
method: get
My function registration call looks like this:
curl --request POST \
--url http://127.0.0.1:4001/v1/spaces/default/functions \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data \
'{"functionId": "helloserverless", "type": "awslambda", "provider":{ "arn": "<lambda-arn>", "region": "ap-southeast-2", "accessKeyId": "<my-access-key>", "secretAccessKey": "<my-secret-key"}}'
Now, when I try to subscribe to an event:
--url http://127.0.0.1:4001/v1/spaces/default/subscriptions \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"functionId": "helloserverless", "type": "sync", "path": "/hello", "method": "GET", "eventType": "http.request"}'
I get the following error:
{"errors":[{"message":"Event Type \"http.request\" not found."}]}
Any pointer to the right solution or working example is pretty much appreciated.

If you want to call a function like an endpoint you need to have your application running. There is a plugin called serverless-offline to help you on this.
In case you want to call your function using serverless options, the command is called INVOKE. https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/cli-reference/invoke-local/
