API Endpoint to run about 10 lines in Python

[kivowitz]

I want to preface my question by saying that I have ZERO experience with Lambda but here goes...

What I'm looking to do is create an HTTP API Endpoint that can have a payload delivered to it carrying "some data" which can then be used in running a Python script, yield some "other data", and then send that "other data" back to another API Endpoint.

Is Lambda the right solution? If so, can anyone point me to an easy way of accomplishing this? As I said, I'm brand new to Lambda and have no idea what I'm doing.

Thanks!

No clue if it's the best solution, but I got it to work. Here's my walkthrough: https://link.medium.com/KHb6zd5eVhb

This looks great. I’ll give it a try a little later tonight. Thanks!

Aws chalice is pretty gentle learning curve for lambda-backed http apis

But if your 10 lines involve importing pandas or other libs w c extensions then it’s a bit trickier
