Rakefile for running tests with

[equivalent]

Issue #, if available:

not applicable

Description of changes:

In Ruby world there is a good practice to configure default Rake task rake to run the tests. This is so that CI or anyone who clones the project run the task without knowing if it's RSpec or MiniTest testnig framework

so in order to run tests all one need to do is run rake

Once this is merged I can create a PR implementing Travis CI on this repo similar how I how it configured on my fork:

https://travis-ci.org/equivalent/serverless-sinatra-sample

So that this official repo can have a CI build badge similar to other Ruby projects:

e.g. : https://github.com/equivalent/public_uid (badge in README.md)

Thank you guys for creating this repo example. Quite helpful. I've created blog post about it where I explain in details how it all works ;) https://blog.eq8.eu/article/sinatra-on-aws-lambda.html

if you got any ideas pls let me know ;)

Hi Tomas, That's a great blog! Do you mind if I add the link of your blog post to the README file? By the way, I think it might be a little confusing for Lambda beginners when they read 'That means if this Sinatra app needs to receive 1000 requests, it will spin up 1000 AWS Lambda Functions.' in the post. We both know that if there are 1000 requests concurrently, AWS will try to run 1000 invocations for the same Lambda function. However, if it's 1000 requests/second, and each request only needs 200 ms to process, there could only be 200 concurrent invocations at any point of time. (Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/scaling.html). If you can clarify a bit, that would be great! Anyways, we really appreciate your effort and contribution! Best, -Xiang Shen

Hi Xiang,

That's a great blog! Do you mind if I add the link of your blog post to the README file?

yes sure, thank you for that

If you can clarify a bit, that would be great!

Yes definitely, I'll update it now. Thank you for pointing this out 🙏

Anyways, we really appreciate your effort and contribution!

The "Thank you" goes to you guys. In the past I was planing to do similar example project as soon as AWS announce official Ruby support. You guys beat me to it :) And really good job. It's great this example repo exist. Super helpful for Ruby community. It's already 31 reputation on https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comments/a5f7as/sinatra_on_aws_lambda/ in less than 24 hours

Hi Tomas, I have added your blog post link and also the 'we want FaaS' link to the README file. I have also made changes so the Lambda function will work with an ALB instead of only API GW. So if somebody doesn't want to define the routes in API GW, they can use ALB which can use Cognito to authenticate as well. Thanks, -Xiang

@xiangshen-dk oh nice 👍 I'll try the ALB implementatino next week

Thank you for adding those links

I've updated my article (several parts of it actually as I was writing it at 3AM in the morning), can you please have one more read if I got everything right 🙏 thank you

[xiangshen-dk]

Looks good to me. However, 'spin up' is not a phrase we would normally use for Lambda. I saw your note in the blog though. I don't hate you but still want to point that out. :) Great job and really appreciate your work on this!

:D

I was really trying to find a better phraze. Trough out the AWS Lambda docs I see the term "invocation" is used but honestly I don't think it captures the fact that "Lambda function is not present in the memory to receive call yet" and how "cold start" works not be clear enough for junior developers.

is there a better term for this that you would recommend please ?

@xiangshen-dk good news, article made it to Ruby Weekly (2nd place, that's in my opinion big deal) https://rubyweekly.com/issues/429 so there will be quite an exposure to the serverless-sinatra-sample repo in Ruby community 👍

[xiangshen-dk]

That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing! Regarding your previous email, usually we just say AWS executes the Lambda function. When a Lambda function is executed, it will go through different stages. This blog post is a bit dated but it's still used when we talk about Lambda function life cycle: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/container-reuse-in-lambda/ Best, -Xiang
