package and zip lambdas then run terraform.

Project description

spin-and-heave

Spin & Heave uses the lambdaci docker image to package and zip a lambda package. If you do not already have the docker image, docker will attempt to download it. After this is done, S&H will run terraform apply (can be skipped with a flag).

With null resources, etags, triggers, and source code hashes, it almost feels like you could use terraform as an end-to-end deployment tool for lambda. You could make a change to your function code, and when you ran apply terraform would spot the change in the hash or etag, and everything (including your infrastructure) would update accordingly. To it's credit, you can almost get it working with just pure terraform. But as my friend Gus said, "when you first get a hammer everything looks like a nail." and Terraform isn't an all powerful hammer for deployment and everything. For example, it shouldn't be used to create build artifacts, as apparentlymart makes clear in several git issues.

Spin & Heave is one solution (of many). Instead of running terraform apply and using null resources to build and zip, I use S&H, which leverages docker to build and zip everything, then apply changes in terraform. My terraform code simply refers to the zip S&H created. If the zip has changed terraform will upload a new zip to either lambda, or s3, and then redeploy the lambda function.

usage

$ spin-and-heave lambda_project

where "lambda_project" is the directory with your python lambda files. this will run the lambdaci docker image for the runtime python3.6 then save the zip file (in this case "lambda_project.zip") in your current working directory

$ spin-and-heave lambda_project -s

skip terraform apply

$ spin-and-heave lambda_project -js

spin and heave a node lambda package, defaults to nodejs10.x this will run "npm install --production" instead of "pip install"

$ spin-and-heave lambda_project -r python3.7

alternatively, use custom runtimes. The runtime you pick will use the lambdaci docker image with that runtime as a tag
NOTE: at this point any runtime besides node and python also require a build command.

$ spin-and-heave lambda_project -r ruby2.5 -bc "bundle install --deployment"

an example using ruby, which includes a build command.
NOTE: at this point any runtime besides node and python also require a build command.
