AWS Lambda support

[njames]

Is Lambda support (or azure functions) on the roadmap for anyone?

This would make for a nice deployment option.

It could possibly be done in the same way that zappa creates the lambda interaction for django apps deployed as a lambda.

Thoughts anyone?

Yes, you can run Loco on Lambda (I'm already doing it myself in AWS).

However, creating a streamlined deployment process for Lambda can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of the configuration across different environments. There’s a lot of variability in how things are set up, which can make the process complex.

That said, have you considered using Docker for Lambda? You can run Docker containers inside Lambda, which might provide more control over your environment and configuration.

Ahh thanks for the information. Yes I have considered docker. Do you have any tips for setting up the container?

[kaplanelad]

Are you asking about the Docker image or the infrastructure configuration?

[njames]

Is there anything ( config or otherwise ) you need to do so that it hooks from api-gw -> lambda -> docker image so that is knows what the entry point is?

For example, in one of my cases, I run a Loco task (binary) via a shell command (with Node.js).
