Using AWS Lambda Bring your own code • Node.js, Java, Python, C#, Go • Bring your own libraries (even native ones) Simple resource model • Select power rating from 128 MB to 3 GB • CPU and network allocated proportionately Flexible use • Synchronous or asynchronous • Integrated with other AWS services Flexible authorization • Securely grant access to resources and VPCs • Fine-grained control for invoking your functions 

Lambda permissions model Fine grained security controls for both execution and invocation: Execution policies: • Define what AWS resources/API calls can this function access via IAM • Used in streaming invocations • E.g. “Lambda function A can read from DynamoDB table users” Function policies: • Used for sync and async invocations • E.g. “Actions on bucket X can invoke Lambda function Z" • Resource policies allow for cross account access

Lambda Environment Variables • Key-value pairs that you can dynamically pass to your function • Available via standard environment variable APIs such as process.env for Node.js or os.environ for Python • Can optionally be encrypted via AWS Key Management Service (KMS) • Allows you to specify in IAM what roles have access to the keys to decrypt the information • Useful for creating environments per stage (i.e. dev, testing, production) 

© 2018, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. API Gateway Stage Variables • Stage variables act like environment variables • Use stage variables to store configuration values • Stage variables are available in the $context object • Values are accessible from most fields in API Gateway • Lambda function ARN • HTTP endpoint • Custom authorizer function name • Parameter mappings

Stage Variables and Lambda Aliases Using Stage Variables in API Gateway together with Lambda function Aliases you can manage a single API configuration and Lambda function for multiple environment stages myLambdaFunction 1 2 3 = prod 4 5 6 = beta 7 8 = dev My First API Stage variable = lambdaAlias Prod lambdaAlias = prod Beta lambdaAlias = beta Dev lambdaAlias = dev

When the alias is updated to point to a different function version, incoming request traffic in turn instantly points to the updated version.”

When the alias is updated to point to a different function version, incoming request traffic in turn instantly points to the updated version. This exposes that alias to any potential instabilities introduced by the new version. To minimize this impact, you can implement the routing-config parameter of the Lambda alias that allows you to point to two different versions of the Lambda function and dictate what percentage of incoming traffic is sent to each version.” – AWS Lambda docs on “Traffic Shifting Using Aliases” aws lambda update-alias --name alias name --function-name function- name --routing-config AdditionalVersionWeights={”6"=0.05}

Lambda Alias Traffic Shifting & AWS SAM AutoPublishAlias By adding this property and specifying an alias name, AWS SAM will do the following: • Detect when new code is being deployed based on changes to the Lambda function's Amazon S3 URI. • Create and publish an updated version of that function with the latest code. • Create an alias with a name you provide (unless an alias already exists) and points to the updated version of the Lambda function.

Amazon API Gateway Canary Support Use canary release deployments to gradually roll out new APIs in Amazon API Gateway: • configure percent of traffic to go to a new stage deployment • can test stage settings and variables • API gateway will create additional Amazon CloudWatch Logs group and CloudWatch metrics for the requests handled by the canary deployment API • To rollback: delete the deployment or set percent of traffic to 0 NEW!
