Python on AWS Lambda using Chalice

Just a toy application for my introduction to serverless @ Confoo 2021. See the slides.

Prerequisites

• AWS cli (installed and configured)
• Chalice
• python 3.8

Installation

First, start by creating a virtual environment to prevent installing the dependencies globally on your system.

$ make venv

Activate that virtual environment

$ source .venv/bin/activate

Install the project dependencies

$ make install

Deployment

Export your AWS profile

$ export AWS_PROFILE=chalice-hello

Deploy your functions

$ chalice deploy
