django-lgi - Django Lambda Gateway Interface

django-lgi is a python module that interprets HTTP API requests sent to your Django project in Lambda.

Features

• Process 2.0 payload format version data that API Gateway sends to a Lambda integration.
• Trigger management commands directly on lambda, e.g. invoke lambda function with {"manage": ["version"]} to display the current Django version.

Installation

pip install django-lgi

Usage

Create lgi.py file in Django project root. Remember to replace mysite.settings with dotted path to your settings module.

import os

from lgi import get_lgi_application

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

application = get_lgi_application()

Set lambda handler to mysite.lgi.application.
