This is a Python application deployed to AWS Lambda to be run as a serverless function, invoked by a RESTful endpoint exposed by API Gateway. The deployment pipeline consists of AWS CodeBuild which packages the application with all of its dependencies and Cloudformation which deploys the application to Lambda and API Gateway. It will take a curl command entry and return the cube of the number.
Curl Command:
curl -XPOST 'https://dhlbfd98j6.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/' -d '{"number_to_cube":90}'
This sample includes:
- README.md - this file
- buildspec.yml - this file is used by AWS CodeBuild to package your application for deployment to AWS Lambda
- index.py - this file contains the sample Python code for the web service
- template.yml - this file contains the Serverless Application Model (SAM) used by AWS Cloudformation to deploy your application to AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway.
If you have checked out a local copy of your repository you can start making changes to the sample code. We suggest making a small change to index.py first, so you can see how changes pushed to your project's repository are automatically picked up by your project pipeline and deployed to AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. (You can watch the pipeline progress on your AWS CodeStar project dashboard.)Once you've seen how that works, start developing your own code, and have fun!
