# lambda-uploader

Provides a quick command line utility for packaging and publishing Python AWS Lambda
functions. This is a work in progress and pull requests are always welcome.

### Installation
The latest release of lambda-uploader can be installed via pip:
```
pip install lambda-uploader
```
An alternative install method would be manually installing it leveraging `setup.py`:
```
git clone https://github.com/rackerlabs/lambda-uploader
cd lambda-uploader
python setup.py install
```

### Configuration File
The lambda uploader expects a directory with, at a minimum, your lambda function
and a `lambda.json` file. It is not necessary to set requirements in your config
file since the lambda uploader will also check for and use a requirements.txt file.

Please note that you can leave the `vpc` object out of your config if you want your
lambda function to use your default VPC and subnets. If you wish to use your lambda
function inside a specific VPC, make sure you set up the role correctly to allow this.

Note also the `ignore` entry is an array of regular expression strings
used to match against the relative paths - be careful to quote accordingly.
For example, a traditional `*.txt` "glob" is matched by the JSON string:
`".*\\.txt$"` (or just `"\\.txt$"`).

Example `lambda.json` file:
```json
{
"name": "myFunction",
"description": "It does things",
"region": "us-east-1",
"runtime": "python2.7",
"handler": "function.lambda_handler",
"role": "arn:aws:iam::00000000000:role/lambda_basic_execution",
"requirements": ["pygithub"],
"ignore": [
"circle\\.yml$",
"\\.git$",
"/.*\\.pyc$"
],
"timeout": 30,
"memory": 512,
"vpc": {
"subnets": [
"subnet-00000000"
],
"security_groups": [
"sg-00000000"
]
},
"tracing": {
"Mode": "Active"
}
}
```

You can also optionally setup a subscription to a Kinesis stream for your
lambda using the `subscription` field as in the following sample configuration.

```json
{
"name": "myFunction",
"description": "It does things",
"region": "us-east-1",
"runtime": "python2.7",
"handler": "function.lambda_handler",
"role": "arn:aws:iam::00000000000:role/lambda_basic_execution",
"requirements": ["pygithub"],
"timeout": 30,
"memory": 512,
"subscription": {
"kinesis": {
"stream": "arn:aws:kinesis:eu-west-1:000000000000:stream/services",
"batch_size": 10
}
}
}
```

### Command Line Usage
To package and upload simply run the command from within your lambda directory or
with the directory as an option.
```shell
lambda-uploader ./myfunc
```

To specify an alternative profile that has been defined in `~/.aws/credentials` use the
`--profile` parameter.
```shell
lambda-uploader --profile=alternative-profile
```

To specify an alternative, prexisting virtualenv use the `--virtualenv` parameter.
```shell
lambda-uploader --virtualenv=~/.virtualenv/my_custom_virtualenv
```

To omit using a virtualenv use the `--no-virtualenv` parameter.
```shell
lambda-uploader --no-virtualenv
```

To inject any other additional files, use the `--extra-file EXTRA_FILE` parameter.
```shell
lambda-uploader --extra-file ~/stuff_for_lambda_packages
```

If you would prefer to upload another way you can tell the uploader to ignore the upload.
This will create a package and leave it in the project directory.
```shell
lambda-uploader --no-upload ./myfunc
```

To publish a version without an alias you would pass the the publish flag.
```shell
lambda-uploader -p ./myfunc
```

If you would like to alias your upload you can pass the alias with the alias flag. The
function description will be used when an alias-description is not provided.
```shell
lambda-uploader --alias myAlias --alias-description 'My alias description' ./myfunc
```

If you would prefer to build the package manually and just upload it using uploader you can ignore the build.
This will upload `lambda_function.zip` file.
```shell
lambda-uploader --no-build
```
