How to issue a parsing json from case class using jackson

Question

I am attempting to use the aws lambda seed project received

The source code for the generated project 

I imported the sbt dependencies and built the project using sbt assembly command.

I took the jar file built and uploaded it to lambda directly. For the handler defined for at MyHandler::handler

// handler io.github.yeghishe.MySimpleHander::handler
// input "foo"
object MySimpleHander extends App {
  def handler(name: String, context: Context): String = s"Hello $name"
}

case class Name(val name: String)
case class Greeting(val message: String)

// handler io.github.yeghishe.MyHandler
// input {"name": "Yeghishe"}
class MyHandler extends Handler[Name, Greeting] {
  def handler(name: Name, context: Context): Greeting = {
    logger.info(s"Name is $name")
    Greeting(s"Hello ${name.name}")
  }
}

with the input event:

{
  "name": "Yeghishe"
}

When I call the function, it shows the error:

{
  "errorMessage": "An error occurred during JSON parsing",
  "errorType": "java.lang.RuntimeException",
  "stackTrace": [],
  "cause": {
    "errorMessage": "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No suitable constructor found for type [simple type, class com.lendi.hellolambda.Name]: can not instantiate from JSON object (missing default constructor or creator, or perhaps need to add/enable type information?)\n at [Source: lambdainternal.util.NativeMemoryAsInputStream@1dfe2924; line: 1, column: 2]",
    "errorType": "java.io.UncheckedIOException",
    "stackTrace": [],

      "errorType": "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException",

        "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectReader.readValue(ObjectReader.java:1102)"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Do you use jackson-module-scala or any other Scala-aware configuration of Jackson? By default Jackson can't deserialize case classes. So show us your Jackson configuration. The seed project depends on a library that uses the circe library for parsing json from an input stream, it is based on this blog post which makes it much stranger when we have the method issuing a Jackson error.
Maybe you should have set your handler to just com.lendi.hellolambda.MyHandler or com.lendi.hellolambda.MyHandler::handleRequest (which comes from the base Handler) See also Example: Using Stream for Handler Input/Output (Java)
