Using Python with AWS Lambda

Your Presenter

Calvin Hendryx-Parker, CTO

Six Feet Up, Inc.

Note

Introduce yourself, why are you the person they should be listening to for the next 45 minutes

What is AWS Lambda?

  • Server-less computing
  • Event-driven
  • Continuous Scaling

What runs on Lambda?

  • Python
  • Java
  • Node.js

What kinds of things do people do with Lambda?

  • S3
  • Kinesis
  • DynamoDB
  • SNS
  • API Gateway
  • Mobile Backend
  • Scheduled Events
  • AWS IoT
  • Alexa Events

Note

Async calls use the Event invocation type and the return is discarded.

Kinesis can work sync or async and can read in batches of records coming from a stream

Lambda can subscribe to SNS topics even across accounts

More event sources are being added such as Cognito Sync Triggers

What does Lambda Cost?

Per Request

  • First 1 million requests per month are free
  • $0.20 per 1 million requests thereafter

Per Compute time

  • First 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month are free
  • Lambda instances can vary based on RAM used
  • For 128MB instance, you get 3.2M seconds free
  • Allows up to 1.5GB instances (266,667 seconds free)
  • Billing is metered in increments of 100 milliseconds

Note

All calls made to AWS Lambda must complete execution within 300 seconds

Let's do Python with Lambda

  • Python 2.7
  • Include Standard Library
  • Includes the AWS SDK library, Boto 3
  • You can bundle anything else you like

Hello Lambda

  • Simple
  • TTW
  • No dependencies
  • API Endpoint

Fetch Lambda, Good Dog

  • S3 Events
  • Fetch Files
  • Use Pillow to Convert Images
  • Put the Converted Files Back

Some Pre-packaged Binaries for Lambda

https://github.com/Miserlou/lambda-packages

Note

Each Lambda function receives 500MB of non-persistent disk space in its own /tmp directory

Binary compiles can be made and just need to run on Amazon Linux

Lambda Telephone Game

  • API Gateway
  • Webhook Target for ZenDesk
  • Use Requests to call another Webhook in Pingdom
