## Upgrade Note

Previous versions of this application featured an optional [CloudFront](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/) distribution that provided caching, custom domain/hostname mapping, and request/response pre/post-processing. However, the primary motivation for including this feature in the past was that it provided a complicated but effective way to skirt the hard 6 megabyte limit for Lambda function response payloads. Since then, AWS has introduced [AWS Lambda response streaming](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-aws-lambda-response-streaming/), which uses chunked responses to bypass the 6 megabyte limit. As this is a much more elegant solution to the problem, there's nothing about the CloudFront template that's specific to this project any more. Ongoing development and maintenance will therefore focus on the IIIF Lambda itself rather than the large, complicated template required for a flexible, customizable CloudFront deployment.

While the CloudFront-enabled version of the application will remain available for the in the Serverless Application Repository for a time to provide an easy upgrade path for existing users, it is _strongly_ recommended that new deployments use the provided [documentation](https://samvera.github.io/serverless-iiif/docs/quick-start/infrastructure) and [examples](./examples) of [CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) templates and [Terraform](https://terraform.io/) manifests to deploy the standalone function as part of a larger application/infrastructure stack that defines its own CloudFront distribution.

### Breaking Changes from Version 4.x

- The value of the `SharpLayer` variable must now be one of `INTERNAL`, `JP2`, or a valid Lambda layer ARN in the same region the
application is being deployed in. The new default is `JP2`, which behaves the same as the former default (empty string). The new
value, `INTERNAL`, uses the `sharp` and `libvips` dependencies compiled into the application itself.

## Description

A IIIF [2.1](https://iiif.io/api/image/2.1/) and [3.0](https://iiif.io/api/image/3.0/) Image API compliant server written as an [AWS Serverless Application](https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/).

## Components

* A simple [Lambda Function](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/) wrapper for the [iiif-processor](https://www.npmjs.com/package/iiif-processor) module.
* A [Lambda Function URL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-urls.html) that is used to invoke the IIIF API via HTTPS.
* A [Lambda Layer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html) containing all the dependencies for the Lambda Function.

## Prerequisites

* Some basic knowledge of AWS.
* An Amazon Web Services account with permissions to create resources via the console and/or command line.
* An [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) bucket to hold the source images to be served via IIIF.
**Note: The Lambda Function will be granted read access to this bucket.**
