lambda-layer-version-cleaner 0.0.2

A serverless application to automatically manage and delete old AWS Lambda Layer versions, retaining only the specified number of most recent versions.

lambda-layer-version-cleaner

lambda-layer-version-cleaner is a CDK Construct that helps you manage and automatically clean up old versions of AWS Lambda Layers. It works with both JavaScript / TypeScript and Python CDK apps. Please note that this cleaner will only clean up versions of Lambda Layers in the region where it's deployed.

Installation

For JavaScript / TypeScript projects:

npm install lambda-layer-version-cleaner

For Python projects:

pip install lambda-layer-version-cleaner

Usage

To use the LambdaLayerVersionCleaner in your CDK project, simply import it and add it to your stack.

JavaScript / TypeScript

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as events from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-events';
import { LambdaLayerVersionCleaner } from 'lambda-layer-version-cleaner';

const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'ExampleStack');

new LambdaLayerVersionCleaner(stack, 'LambdaLayerVersionCleaner', {
  retainVersions: '5',
  layerCleanerSchedule: events.Schedule.rate(cdk.Duration.days(7)),
});

Python

from aws_cdk import core as cdk
from aws_cdk.aws_events import Schedule
from aws_cdk.core import Duration
from lambda_layer_version_cleaner import LambdaLayerVersionCleaner

app = cdk.App()
stack = cdk.Stack(app, "ExampleStack")

LambdaLayerVersionCleaner(stack, "LambdaLayerVersionCleaner",
    retain_versions="5",
    layer_cleaner_schedule=Schedule.rate(Duration.days(7))
)

app.synth()

Configuration

The LambdaLayerVersionCleaner construct takes two optional parameters:

• retainVersions (default: '5'): The number of layer versions to retain, specified as a string containing a positive integer. The cleaner will delete older versions beyond this count. Note that this value should be a string, not a number. If not specified, the default is '5'. Note that if a Layer has only one version, it won't be deleted.
• layerCleanerSchedule (default: events.Schedule.rate(cdk.Duration.days(1))): The schedule for running the cleanup process. If not specified, the default is to run once per day.
