ginlambda

A tiny adapter that enables Gin for Lambda

Quick Start

go get -u github.com/dgravesa/ginlambda

Set up your Gin routes as you normally would, and instead of calling lambda.Start() just pass your Gin engine instance to ginlambda.Start().

package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/dgravesa/ginlambda"
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

var r *gin.Engine

func init() {
    r = gin.Default()
    r.GET("/greeting", func(c *gin.Context) {
        c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
    })
}

func main() {
    // equivalent to lambda.Start(handler)
    ginlambda.Start(r)
}

AWS Labs Framework Adaptors - This is an AWS-supported package that does essentially the same job. Plus, it provides adaptors for a bunch of other frameworks as well.

There are two benefits to using ginlambda instead. First and foremost, ginlambda has a much smaller dependency tree, as it's only meant to support Gin. The AWS Labs module has indirect dependencies from a plethora of frameworks, so for example you're depending on Iris and Negroni and their dependencies even if you aren't using them.

Second, ginlambda can save you two lines of code by using ginlambda.Start(). This translates to roughly 200 bytes, saving you precious disk space.
