gicha 1.2.0

Operating Chalice from Github

Gicha CLI

The Python CLI for maintaining a Gicha stack... or dozens of them!

Use cases

Install gicha and list all possible parameters

pip install gicha
python -m gicha --help

Create a completely new project

python -m gicha --app-name=gicha-base

Those configurations will be automatically saved in gicha.yml at the end of the creation.

Upgrade an already existing project

pip install gicha --upgrade
python -m gicha --app-name=gicha-base --output-dir=folder-already-created

Note the --upgrade and the --output-dir=folder-already-created flags. The Gicha configuration that was used for the previous generation is saved in gicha.yml: it will be updated after the new upgrade.

If you want to do an upgrade without re-specifying each parameter (there are a lot of them!), then gicha conveniently provides de --gicha-conf parameter. Just modify the existing gicha.yml (modify mandatorily the version parameter so that it reflects the newly upgraded version, modify optionally any other parameter depending on your needs), then:

pip install gicha --upgrade
cd folder-already-created
python -m gicha --gicha-conf=gicha.yml --output-dir=.

Activate Function URL

If your calls last longer than 30 seconds (but less than 15 minutes), then you need to do the invocations through Function URL.

1. Call Gicha --with-function-url=true. This will just save the configuration in gicha.yml for now.
2. Activate Function URL. You can use either AWS Console or CLI.
3. Set handler to app.minimalistic_handler. You can use either AWS Console or CLI.
