Python module to make Flask compatible with AWS Lambda for creating RESTful applications.
pip install flask-lambdaThis module works pretty much just like Flask. This allows you to run and develop this applicaiton locally just like you would in Flask. When ready deploy to Lambda, and configure the handler as:
my_python_file.appHere is an example of what my_python_file.py would look like:
from flask_lambda import FlaskLambda
app = FlaskLambda(__name__)
@app.route('/foo', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def foo():
data = {
'form': request.form.copy(),
'args': request.args.copy(),
'json': request.json
}
return (
json.dumps(data, indent=4, sort_keys=True),
200,
{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)Nothing special here, this module works without issue with Flask-RESTful as well.
Configure your API Gateway with a {proxy+} resource with an ANY method. Your "Method Response" should likely include an application/json "Response Body for 200" that uses the Empty model.
Consider using python-mu.
If you wish to use the "Test" functionality in Lambda for your function, you will need a "API Gateway AWS Proxy" event. Below is an event to test the above sample application:
{
"body": "{\"test\":\"body\"}",
