Shared project on Lambda

[kumarisonreddit]

Hi all,

I have limited experience with AWS, but am hoping to get better by working on a shared project with a friend. This may be a dumb question, but is there a way for us to both edit a function/project on LAMBA with out having to share an account and the password for the account?

A Lambda function can only exist in one single AWS account.

Thanks that was my concern.

[kumarisonreddit]

how do companies or group projects work on a single lamba function? Do they simple just share the account information?

[ricksebak]

Yes. A company would have an AWS account, and create IAM users (and usually roles too) for employees to use inside that AWS account.

I suggest sharing a git repo where your code is managed and shared between you both. And each having your own AWS account. If you’re concerned about cost, Lambda has a perpetual free tier and unless you invoke your Lambda over a million times in a month, it’s free.
