AWS Layer for Sharp 🚀🚀🚀

AWS Lambda Layers custom routine that gives you access to Sharp image library without installing, building and shipping the module with your functions. Just include it and use it.

Module is built on amazonlinux docker image and it's 100% compatible with nodejs10.x lambda environment.

This layer gives you:

• 🚀 fast iteration when dealing with functions that resize images
• 📦 ~30MB smaller functions, just because you don't ship them with sharp

How to Use this layer

Either check the example folder and follow the instruction on how to run the example, or in your AWS console add following ARN arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:502686283826:layer:sharp:7 when you are adding the layer.

This is last stable version.

Deploy and build the layer yourself

Building the layer

Docker must be installed.

Run docker-compose up --build in the root of the project. After that you will get the zip file under layers/sharp/out. I'm not sure why would you do it, since last version is already provided and sharp hasn't seen any major changes in a while. But i guess everyone loves BUILDING 😍.

Deploying

Again, from root of the project run yarn deploy

How to run example

cd example
yarn
yarn start

Then visit the following link

http://localhost:4000/sharp?width=800&metadata=true&convolve=true

to deploy run yarn deploy from the example folder
