cdk-lambda-subminute 2.0.533

A construct for deploying a Lambda function that can be invoked every time unit less than one minute.

This construct creates a state machine that can invoke a Lambda function per time unit which can be less than one minute, such as invoking every 10 seconds. You only need to craft a Lambda function and then assign it as an argument into the construct. An example is included.

Serverless Architecture

Introduction

This construct library is reffered to thie AWS Architecture blog post, A serverless solution for invoking AWS Lambda at a sub-minute frequency, written by Emanuele Menga. I made it as a constrcut library where you only need to care about a target Lambda function, how frequent and how long you want to execute.

Example

Typescript

$ cdk --init language typescript
$ yarn add cdk-lambda-subminute

class TypescriptStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const targetLabmda = new Function(this, 'targetFunction', {
      code: Code.fromInline('exports.handler = function(event, ctx, cb) { return cb(null, "hi"); })'), // It's just a simple function for demonstration purpose only.
      functionName: 'testTargetFunction',
      runtime: Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
    });
    const cronJobExample = 'cron(50/1 15-17 ? * SUN-SAT *)';
    const subminuteMaster = new LambdaSubminute(this, 'LambdaSubminute', { targetFunction: targetLabmda, cronjobExpression: cronJobExample });

    new cdk.CfnOutput(this, 'OStateMachineArn', { value: subminuteMaster.stateMachineArn });
    new cdk.CfnOutput(this, 'OIteratorFunctionArn', { value: subminuteMaster.iteratorFunction.functionArn });
  }
}

const app = new cdk.App();
new TypescriptStack(app, 'TypescriptStack', {
});

Known issue

Originally, I utilized PythonFuncion in the module of @aws-cdk/aws-lambda-python to build the iterator Lambda function. Every thing works fine, including test, on my local machine (MacBook Pro M1), until it comes to the CI in Github Actions, it awlays gave me the following message:

## cdk version: 1.105.0 (build 4813992)
Bundling did not produce any output. Check that content is written to /asset-output.

      64 |     }));

I actually have tried many different methods according to the following threads but to no avail. I'll attempt to test some thoughts or just post the issue onto the CDK Github repo.

• Asset Bundling
• Change the bundler's /asset-output local volume mount location #8589
• (aws-lambda-python: PythonFunction): unable to use bundling in BitBucket #14156
• BundlingDockerImage.cp() needs to be explained more in the README #11914
