AWS Lambda Python Template

This repo is a template for deploying a python lambda function on AWS. Great if all you need is simple authentication, dependancies, and JSON responses.

Requirements

• The AWS CLI installed on your local development machine
• Python 3.9
• Docker
• Terraform

Tech Notes

• In this repo I use us-east-1. Change where necessary.

Getting started

1. Copy over the sample env file to .env and fill in the relevant fields.
2. Add packages with pipenv and code
3. Clone this repo to store your own build images for python. Make sure your docker cli is logged in with your aws credentials. Create a private repository in AWS ECR if you haven't already named [insert aws account id here].dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/aws-sam-cli-build-image-python3.9. Then use the command make build_python39.
4. Deploy using make deploy
5. Pass authentication to the API endpoint within the "Authentication" HTTP header as raw, non-encoded text
