Welcome to aws_lambda_artifact_builder Documentation
AWS Lambda Artifact Builder is a comprehensive Python library that solves the deployment challenges every team faces when building Lambda applications. It provides battle-tested solutions for both Lambda Layer creation and deployment package building across pip, Poetry, and UV dependency managers.
Key Features:
Multi-Tool Support: Seamless integration with pip, Poetry, and UV dependency managers
Cross-Platform Builds: Container-based builds ensuring Linux compatibility from any development platform
Private Repository Support: Built-in AWS CodeArtifact and private PyPI server integration
Command Pattern Architecture: Granular control with simple builder.run() interface
Enterprise Ready: Intelligent change detection, automated cleanup, cross-account layer sharing
Complete Workflow: End-to-end automation from dependency installation to AWS deployment
The Problems It Solves:
Platform compatibility issues (Windows/macOS → Linux Lambda runtime)
Dependency separation complexity (stable layers vs changing application code)
Build reproducibility across development, CI, and production environments
Private repository authentication and credential management
Storage optimization and version management
Enterprise deployment workflows
Usage Examples
Lambda Source Artifacts (Deployment Packages):
Build application code packages for Lambda function deployment:
example_1_build_lambda_source_using_pip_step_by_step.py: Step-by-step source building with pip
example_2_build_lambda_source_using_pip_all_in_one.py: All-in-one source building workflow
Lambda Layer Artifacts:
Build dependency layers for Lambda functions using different build tools:
Common Setup:
settings.py: Shared configuration for all layer examples
Pip Builder Examples:
example_1_1_build_lambda_layer_using_pip_in_local.py: Local pip-based layer building
example_1_2_build_lambda_layer_using_pip_in_container.py: Container-based pip layer building
Poetry Builder Examples:
example_2_1_build_lambda_layer_using_poetry_in_local.py: Local Poetry-based layer building
example_2_2_build_lambda_layer_using_poetry_in_container.py: Container-based Poetry layer building
UV Builder Examples:
example_3_1_build_lambda_layer_using_uv_in_local.py: Local UV-based layer building
example_3_2_build_lambda_layer_using_uv_in_container.py: Container-based UV layer building
Advanced Workflow Examples:
example_4_package.py: Layer packaging with optimization and exclusions
example_5_upload.py: S3 upload with organized artifact storage
example_6_publish.py: Lambda layer version publishing with change detection
example_7_workflow.py: Complete end-to-end workflow (Build → Package → Upload → Publish)
