Swift Lambda Maker

Swift Lambda Maker, aka SLaM, is a CLI tool used for creating and packaging AWS Lambda function written in Swift. It can create a new executable Swift Package where you can start coding your Lambda as well as package that Lambda as a zipped Docker image.

Prerequisites

• Swift 5.3+
• Docker

Getting Started

To download and install SLaM, run the following commands in the terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/Kilo-Loco/SLaM.git
$ cd SLaM
$ make

Next, generate the Swift Lambda project in a new directory (outside of the SLaM directory):

$ mkdir MyFirstLambda
$ cd MyFirstLambda
$ slam new

Open your project and start coding your Lambda 🚀

$ xed .

Exporting

To deploy your Swift Lambda, you will need to first create a Docker image:

$ slam setup-image

Enter the name of your image:
my-first-lambda-image

Once a Docker image is created, you shouldn't have to run this command again

Now build and package your code into the Docker image:

$ slam export

Enter the name of your image:
my-first-lambda-image

Run this command every time you need to package your updated Swift Lambda.

Once the export if finished, you can find the zipped Docker image at pathToThisRepo/.build/lambda/[PROJECT_NAME]/lambda.zip

Contributions and Support

SLaM is developed completely in the open, and contributions are welcomed. Kilo Loco is relatively new to working with Docker and AWS Lambda, so there are bound to be a few bugs you can help fix 😉
