library lambdavel

uruloke/lambdavel

AWS lambda for Laravel.

SETUP

API's

This package is made for API's., _(*1)

It can take your Laravel API application and make it fully scalable, with the power of lambdas. All you need to do is add install the package via composer, _(*2)

composer require uruloke/lambdavel

And run, _(*3)

php artisan vendor:publish
...
[x] Provider: Uruloke\Lambdavel\LambdaServiceProvider
...

Choose our package and there will then be added a file in your root directory called template.yml, which is AWS lambda's file for defining the endpoints., _(*4)

Configuration

Before first use, you need to setup your domain for Lambda in your config file config/lambda.php., _(*5)

Cache, _(*6)

'aws-lambda' => [
        'driver' => 'file',
        'path' => '/tmp/laravel/framework/cache/data',
    ],

FILESYSTEMS, _(*7)

'awsLambda' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => '/tmp/laravel/filesystem',
        ],

APP_LOG=syslog
FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=awsLambda
SESSION_DRIVER=array

SESSION, _(*9)

'files' => '/tmp/laravel/framework/sessions',

PHP extensions

//TODO: not written yet., _(*12)

Non-API

If you are using this package for a non-api's, where you eg. supply css files and js files, the recommendation is to store these files at a file storage, like S3 for better speed and not paying for an invocation to the lambda, when the file is static., _(*13)

Running local

If you wan't to run AWS lambda locally, but have no prior experience with this, run, _(*14)

php artisan lambda:install

It will also prompt you to install the needed software for running the lambda's in local environment for testing. This includes SAM and Docker., _(*15)

For starting the local edition of lambda's just run, _(*16)

php artisan lambda:local

It wil automatically fire up SAM local, with the required parameters for our instance., _(*17)

KEEP IN MIND LOCAL EDITION OF AWS LAMBDAS IS NOT COMPLETELY LIKE THE REAL VERSION., _(*18)

You can for example experience 502 bad gateway, because of too many concurrent calls., _(*19)
