We ve been using lambda for a while at honeybadger and i have longed to be able to write our functions in ruby.
Aws lambda ruby version.
Today aws is excited to announce ruby as a supported language for aws lambda.
Having played with the new ruby support for a few hours i m feeling confident we ll be spending less time with node go and python.
The below code shows the require statement at the top of the lambda function rb file.
At a high level to add a signalfx ruby lambda wrapper you can package the code yourself or you can use a lambda layer containing the wrapper and then attach the layer to a lambda function.
After exploring basic things in aws lambda for ruby i like to create a minimal set up to deploy and manage ruby function to aws lambda.
This workshop leverages docker aws sam cookiecutter templates to provide a fast paced curriculum with little configuration fuss.
However using this approach you can add more specific libraries extend the compilation scope and leverage json to interconnect your lambda function to amazon api gateway and other services.
The sdk is now in its third major version and it continues to improve and deliver aws api updates.
To reference the sdk add a require statement to the top of your lambda function rb file.
Expect to learn the following while making a lambda that responds to s3 events to resize source images.
Using the aws sdk.
The following steps are only an overview on how to get php go or ruby up and running on lambda.
The signalfx ruby lambda wrapper wraps around an aws lambda ruby function handler which allows metrics and traces to be sent to signalfx.
Lambda provides runtimes for ruby that execute your code to process events.
In the summer of 2011 aws introduced the initial release of aws sdk for ruby which has helped ruby developers to better integrate and use aws resources.
Here i have explored two basic requirements for managing aws.
Interested in learning aws lambda from the ground up using ruby.
You choose a runtime when you create a function and you can change runtimes by updating your function s configuration.
Your code runs in an environment that includes the aws sdk for ruby with credentials from an aws identity and access management iam role that you manage.
Aws lambda supports multiple languages through the use of runtimes.
When ruby support on aws lambda was announced yesterday i was so excited about it that i had to try it right away.
Before using serverless frameworks like aws serverless application model or the serverless application framework etc i started with aws cli to understand the lambda deployment behind the screen.
