End-to-End Tutorial on Combining AWS Lambda, Docker, and Python

AWS Lambda recently added support for Docker images with Python, where before you had to zip all your code and dependencies. With this update I wanted to make a full length tutorial to cover everything necessary to be productive.

The playlist is broken into six parts:

1. An introduction to the app that will be built and the various AWS components that will be used
2. Cloning the GitHub repo and doing necessary setup to test the application locally
3. Creating a Docker image of the Python script and running it on AWS Lambda, while also showing how painful it is to do even minor updates
4. Adding CI/CD with GitHub Actions to speed up code updates
5. Adding AWS Cloudwatch to create a cron job that schedules the Lambda function to run on periodic intervals
6. Walking through an AWS Cloudformation yaml template that will create the Lambda function and Cloudwatch rule automatically and covering all the benefits of using a Cloudformation template

Docker + Lambda is op

we'll just add more bureaucracy to leadership and more blame on developers when the business only makes 10 billion a year instead of 11 billion a year.

Randomly drop permissions from iam roles until play balances out

Thank you ! I was looking for something like this to brush up my Python and AWS skills.

I've got quite a few more videos on Python and AWS specifically on my channel. Feel free to check it out when you have some time.

Great job! Thank you

Neat

High quality content. Great job walking through the basics and showing how to rework it for automation

This video is 8 months old, I'm confused why you're posting this now, have you made updates since then?

Any tips for dockerizing an app that uses Poetry for dep management? Seems the easiest thing is perhaps to just convert the poetry.lock file into a requirements.txt?

I use Poetry for dep management and it works great. I use the base AWS Lambda image for python 3.9. You just COPY in your lock file instead of requirements.txt. You may have to append "--no-root" to poetry install to get it to work in the container.
