A tool for running Zappa commands in a Lambda-like' environment.

ZappaDock

About

This package makes dealing with Zappa a walk in the park.

How ?

Zappa runs Flask/Django web apps on AWS Lambda.
We LOVE Zappa. However it's not the MOST user-friendly application ever.

Why ?

You see, Zappa builds all your requirements before uploading your app to AWS Lambda. The problem is that your OS looks nothing like the environment that AWS Lambda looks like.

So What's the problem ?

Simply, pip downloads the packages that are compatible with the computer it is running on, so when Zappa uploads it to AWS Lambda, many packages don't work (notably psycopg2 among others).

What Does ZappaDock Do ?

ZappaDock runs a docker container that mimics the AWS Lambda environment.
All your code is mounted and inside of a virtual environment.
Your AWS credentials are also automatically loaded from your environmental variables or your aws credential file.
So now yor code is running in a Python virtual environment inside of a docker container.
From here you can test your app and run the Zappa commands you need.

Install

It's dead simple :

$ pip install zappadock

Uninstall

Duh. Just :

$ pip uninstall zappadock

I mostly made this for myself. Just threw it together. If you want to make this a masterpiece, be a sport and contribute.
