Click to see(now slightly out-dated) slides from Serverless SF!Zappamakes it super easy to build and deploy server-less, event-driven Python applications (including, but not limited to, WSGI web apps) on AWS Lambda + API Gateway. Think of it as "serverless" web hosting for your Python apps. That meansinfinite scaling,zero downtime,zero maintenance- and at a fraction of the cost of your current deployments!If you've got a Python web app (including Django and Flask apps), it's as easy as:$ pip install zappa
$ zappa init
$ zappa deployand now you're server-less!Wow!What do you mean "serverless"?Okay, so there still is a server - but it only has a40 millisecondlife cycle! Serverless in this case means"without any permanent infrastructure."With a traditional HTTP server, the server is online 24/7, processing requests one by one as they come in. If the queue of incoming requests grows too large, some requests will time out. With Zappa,each request is given its own virtual HTTP "server"by Amazon API Gateway. AWS handles the horizontal scaling automatically, so no requests ever time out. Each request then calls your application from a memory cache in AWS Lambda and returns the response via Python's WSGI interface. After your app returns, the "server" dies.Better still, with Zappa you only pay for the milliseconds of server time that you use, so it's manyorders of magnitude cheaperthan VPS/PaaS hosts like Linode or Heroku - and in most cases, it's completely free. Plus, there's no need to worry about load balancing or keeping servers online ever again.It's great for deploying serverless microservices with frameworks like Flask and Bottle, and for hosting larger web apps and CMSes with Django. Or, you can use any WSGI-compatible app you like! Youprobably don't need to change your existing applicationsto use it, and you're not locked into using it.Zappa also lets you build hybrid event-driven applications that can scale totrillions of eventsa year withno additional efforton your part! You also getfree SSL certificates,global app deployment,API access management,automatic security policy generation,precompiled C-extensions,auto keep-warms,oversized Lambda packages, andmany other exclusive features!And finally, Zappa issuper easy to use. You can deploy your application with a single command out of the box!Awesome!Installation and ConfigurationBefore you begin, make sure you are running Python 3.6/3.7/3.8 and you have a valid AWS account and yourAWS credentials fileis properly installed.Zappacan easily be installed through pip, like so:$ pip install zappaPlease note that Zappamustbe installed into your project'svirtual environment. The virtual environment name should not be the same as the Zappa project name, as this may cause errors.(If you usepyenvand love to manage virtualenvs withpyenv-virtualenv, you just have to callpyenv local [your_venv_name]and it's ready.Condausers should commenthere.)Next, you'll need to define your local and server-side settings.Running the Initial Setup / SettingsZappacan automatically set up your deployment settings for you with theinitcommand:$ zappa initThis will automatically detect your application type (Flask/Django - Pyramid userssee here) and help you define your deployment configuration settings. Once you finish initialization, you'll have a file namedzappa_settings.jsonin your project directory defining your basic deployment settings. It will probably look something like this for most WSGI apps:{// The name of your stage"dev":{// The name of your S3 bucket"s3_bucket":"lambda",// The modular python path to your WSGI application function.// In Flask and Bottle, this is your 'app' object.// Flask (your_module.py):// app = Flask()// Bottle (your_module.py):// app = bottle.default_app()"app_function":"your_module.app"}}or for Django:{"dev":{// The name of your stage"s3_bucket":"lambda",// The name of your S3 bucket"django_settings":"your_project.settings"// The python path to your Django settings.}}Psst: If you're deploying a Django application with Zappa for the first time, you might want to read Edgar Roman'sDjango Zappa Guide.You can define as many stages as your like - we recommend havingdev,staging, andproduction.Now, you're ready to deploy!Basic UsageInitial DeploymentsOnce your settings are configured, you can package and deploy your application to a stage called "production" with a single command:$ zappa deploy production
Deploying..
Your application is now live at: https://7k6anj0k99.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/productionAnd now your app islive!How cool is that?!To explain what's going on, when you calldeploy, Zappa will automatically package up your application and local virtual environment into a Lambda-compatible archive, replace any dependencies with versions with wheels compatible with lambda, set up the function handler and necessary WSGI Middleware, upload the archive to S3, create and manage the necessary Amazon IAM policies and roles, register it as a new Lambda function, create a new API Gateway resource, create WSGI-compatible routes for it, link it to the new Lambda function, and finally delete the archive from your S3 bucket. Handy!Be aware that the default IAM role and policy created for executing Lambda applies a liberal set of permissions.
These are most likely not appropriate for production deployment of important applications.  See the sectionCustom AWS IAM Roles and Policies for Executionfor more detail.UpdatesIf your application has already been deployed and you only need to upload new Python code, but not touch the underlying routes, you can simply:$ zappa update production
Updating..
Your application is now live at: https://7k6anj0k99.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/productionThis creates a new archive, uploads it to S3 and updates the Lambda function to use the new code, but doesn't touch the API Gateway routes.Docker WorkflowsInversion 0.53.0, support was added to deploy & update Lambda functions using Docker. Refer tothe blog postfor more details about how to leverage this functionality, and when you may want to.RollbackYou can alsorollbackthe deployed code to a previous version by supplying the number of revisions to return to. For instance, to rollback to the version deployed 3 versions ago:$ zappa rollback production -n 3SchedulingZappa can be used to easily schedule functions to occur on regular intervals. This provides a much nicer, maintenance-free alternative to Celery!
These functions will be packaged and deployed along with yourapp_functionand called from the handler automatically.
Just list your functions and the expression to schedule them usingcron or rate syntaxin yourzappa_settings.jsonfile:{"production":{..."events":[{"function":"your_module.your_function",// The function to execute"expression":"rate(1 minute)"// When to execute it (in cron or rate format)}],...}}And then:$ zappa schedule productionAnd now your function will execute every minute!If you want to cancel these, you can simply use theunschedulecommand:$ zappa unschedule productionAnd now your scheduled event rules are deleted.See theexamplefor more details.Advanced SchedulingSometimes a function needs multiple expressions to describe its schedule. To set multiple expressions, simply list your functions, and the list of expressions to schedule them usingcron or rate syntaxin yourzappa_settings.jsonfile:{"production":{..."events":[{"function":"your_module.your_function",// The function to execute"expressions":["cron(0 20-23 ? * SUN-THU *)","cron(0 0-8 ? * MON-FRI *)"]// When to execute it (in cron or rate format)}],...}}This can be used to deal with issues arising from the UTC timezone crossing midnight during business hours in your local timezone.It should be noted that overlapping expressions will not throw a warning, and should be checked for, to prevent duplicate triggering of functions.UndeployIf you need to remove the API Gateway and Lambda function that you have previously published, you can simply:$ zappa undeploy productionYou will be asked for confirmation before it executes.If you enabled CloudWatch Logs for your API Gateway service and you don't
want to keep those logs, you can specify the--remove-logsargument to purge the logs for your API Gateway and your Lambda function:$ zappa undeploy production --remove-logsPackageIf you want to build your application package without actually uploading and registering it as a Lambda function, you can use thepackagecommand:$ zappa package productionIf you have azipcallback in yourcallbackssetting, this will also be invoked.{"production":{// The name of your stage"callbacks":{"zip":"my_app.zip_callback"// After creating the package}}}You can also specify the output filename of the package with-o:$ zappa package production -o my_awesome_package.zipHow Zappa Makes PackagesZappa will automatically package your active virtual environment into a package which runs smoothly on AWS Lambda.During this process, it will replace any local dependencies with AWS Lambda compatible versions. Dependencies are included in this order:Lambda-compatiblemanylinuxwheels from a local cacheLambda-compatiblemanylinuxwheels from PyPIPackages from the active virtual environmentPackages from the local project directoryIt also skips certain unnecessary files, and ignores any .py files if .pyc files are available.In addition, Zappa will also automatically set the correct execution permissions, configure package settings, and create a unique, auditable package manifest file.To further reduce the final package file size, you can:Setslim_handlertoTrueto upload a small handler to Lambda and the rest of the package to S3. For more details, see themerged pull requestand thediscussion in the original issue. See also:Large Projects.Use theexcludesetting and provide a list of regex patterns to exclude from the archive. By default, Zappa will exclude Boto, becauseit's already available in the Lambda execution environment.TemplateSimilarly topackage, if you only want the API Gateway CloudFormation template, use thetemplatecommand:$ zappa template production --l your-lambda-arn -r your-role-arnNote that you must supply your own Lambda ARN and Role ARNs in this case, as they may not have been created for you.You can get the JSON output directly with--json, and specify the output file with--output.StatusIf you need to see the status of your deployment and event schedules, simply use thestatuscommand.$ zappa status productionTailing LogsYou can watch the logs of a deployment by calling thetailmanagement command.$ zappa tail productionBy default, this will show all log items. In addition to HTTP and other events, anythingprinted tostdoutorstderrwill be shown in the logs.You can use the argument--httpto filter for HTTP requests, which will be in the Apache Common Log Format.$ zappa tail production --httpSimilarly, you can do the inverse and only show non-HTTP events and log messages:$ zappa tail production --non-httpIf you don't like the default log colors, you can turn them off with--no-color.You can also limit the length of the tail with--since, which accepts a simple duration string:$ zappa tail production --since 4h # 4 hours
$ zappa tail production --since 1m # 1 minute
$ zappa tail production --since 1mm # 1 monthYou can filter out the contents of the logs with--filter, like so:$ zappa tail production --http --filter "POST" # Only show POST HTTP requestsNote that this uses theCloudWatch Logs filter syntax.To tail logs without following (to exit immediately after displaying the end of the requested logs), pass--disable-keep-open:$ zappa tail production --since 1h --disable-keep-openRemote Function InvocationYou can execute any function in your application directly at any time by using theinvokecommand.For instance, suppose you have a basic application in a file called "my_app.py", and you want to invoke a function in it called "my_function". Once your application is deployed, you can invoke that function at any time by calling:$ zappa invoke production 'my_app.my_function'Any remote print statements made and the value the function returned will then be printed to your local console.Nifty!You can also invoke interpretable Python 3.6/3.7/3.8 strings directly by using--raw, like so:$ zappa invoke production "print(1 + 2 + 3)" --rawFor instance, it can come in handy if you want to create your firstsuperuseron a RDS database running in a VPC (like Serverless Aurora):
$ zappa invoke staging "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; User = get_user_model(); User.objects.create_superuser('username', 'email', 'password')" --rawDjango Management CommandsAs a convenience, Zappa can also invoke remote Django 'manage.py' commands with themanagecommand. For instance, to perform the basic Django status check:$ zappa manage production showmigrations adminObviously, this only works for Django projects which have their settings properly defined.For commands which have their own arguments, you can also pass the command in as a string, like so:$ zappa manage production "shell --version"Commands which require direct user input, such ascreatesuperuser, should bereplaced by commandswhich usezappa invoke <env> --raw.For more Django integration, take a look at thezappa-django-utilsproject.SSL CertificationZappa can be deployed to custom domain names and subdomains with custom SSL certificates, Let's Encrypt certificates, andAWS Certificate Manager(ACM) certificates.Currently, the easiest of these to use are the AWS Certificate Manager certificates, as they are free, self-renewing, and require the least amount of work.Once configured as described below, all of these methods use the same command:$ zappa certifyWhen deploying from a CI/CD system, you can use:$ zappa certify --yesto skip the confirmation prompt.Deploying to a Domain With AWS Certificate ManagerAmazon provides their own free alternative to Let's Encrypt calledAWS Certificate Manager(ACM). To use this service with Zappa:Verify your domain in the AWS Certificate Manager console.In the console, select the N. Virginia (us-east-1) region and request a certificate for your domain or subdomain (sub.yourdomain.tld), or request a wildcard domain (*.yourdomain.tld).Copy the entire ARN of that certificate and place it in the Zappa settingcertificate_arn.Set your desired domain in thedomainsetting.Call$ zappa certifyto create and associate the API Gateway distribution using that certificate.Deploying to a Domain With a Let's Encrypt Certificate (DNS Auth)If you want to use Zappa on a domain with a free Let's Encrypt certificate using automatic Route 53 based DNS Authentication, you can followthis handy guide.Deploying to a Domain With a Let's Encrypt Certificate (HTTP Auth)If you want to use Zappa on a domain with a free Let's Encrypt certificate using HTTP Authentication, you can followthis guide.However, it's now far easier to use Route 53-based DNS authentication, which will allow you to use a Let's Encrypt certificate with a single$ zappa certifycommand.Deploying to a Domain With Your Own SSL CertsThe first step is to create a custom domain and obtain your SSL cert / key / bundle.Ensure you have set thedomainsetting within your Zappa settings JSON - this will avoid problems with the Base Path mapping between the Custom Domain and the API invoke URL, which gets the Stage Name appended in the URIAdd the paths to your SSL cert / key / bundle to thecertificate,certificate_key, andcertificate_chainsettings, respectively, in your Zappa settings JSONSetroute53_enabledtofalseif you plan on using your own DNS provider, and not an AWS Route53 Hosted zone.Deploy or update your app using ZappaRun$ zappa certifyto upload your certificates and register the custom domain name with your API gateway.Executing in Response to AWS EventsSimilarly, you can have your functions execute in response to events that happen in the AWS ecosystem, such as S3 uploads, DynamoDB entries, Kinesis streams, SNS messages, and SQS queues.In yourzappa_settings.jsonfile, define yourevent sourcesand the function you wish to execute. For instance, this will executeyour_module.process_upload_functionin response to new objects in yourmy-bucketS3 bucket. Note thatprocess_upload_functionmust accepteventandcontextparameters.{"production":{..."events":[{"function":"your_module.process_upload_function","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket","events":["s3:ObjectCreated:*"// Supported event types: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/NotificationHowTo.html#supported-notification-event-types]}}],...}}And then:$ zappa schedule productionAnd now your function will execute every time a new upload appears in your bucket!To access the key's information in your application context, you'll wantprocess_upload_functionto look something like this:importboto3s3_client=boto3.client('s3')defprocess_upload_function(event,context):"""Process a file upload."""# Get the uploaded file's informationbucket=event['Records'][0]['s3']['bucket']['name']# Will be `my-bucket`key=event['Records'][0]['s3']['object']['key']# Will be the file path of whatever file was uploaded.# Get the bytes from S3s3_client.download_file(bucket,key,'/tmp/'+key)# Download this file to writable tmp space.file_bytes=open('/tmp/'+key).read()Similarly, for aSimple Notification Serviceevent:"events":[{"function":"your_module.your_function","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:sns:::your-event-topic-arn","events":["sns:Publish"]}}]Optionally you can addSNS message filters:"events":[{"function":"your_module.your_function","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:sns:::your-event-topic-arn","filters":{"interests":["python","aws","zappa"],"version":["1.0"]},...}}]DynamoDBandKinesisare slightly different as it is not event based but pulling from a stream:"events":[{"function":"replication.replicate_records","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:dynamodb:us-east-1:1234554:table/YourTable/stream/2016-05-11T00:00:00.000","starting_position":"TRIM_HORIZON",// Supported values: TRIM_HORIZON, LATEST"batch_size":50,// Max: 1000"enabled":true// Default is false}}]SQSis also pulling messages from a stream.  At this time,only "Standard" queues can trigger lambda events, not "FIFO" queues.  Read the AWS Documentation carefully since Lambda calls the SQS DeleteMessage API on your behalf once your function completes successfully."events":[{"function":"your_module.process_messages","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:sqs:us-east-1:12341234:your-queue-name-arn","batch_size":10,// Max: 10. Use 1 to trigger immediate processing"enabled":true// Default is false}}]For configuring Lex Bot's intent triggered events:"bot_events":[{"function":"lexbot.handlers.book_appointment.handler","event_source":{"arn":"arn:aws:lex:us-east-1:01234123123:intent:TestLexEventNames:$LATEST",// optional. In future it will be used to configure the intent"intent":"intentName",// name of the bot event configured"invocation_source":"DialogCodeHook",// either FulfillmentCodeHook or DialogCodeHook}}]Events can also take keyword arguments:"events":[{"function":"your_module.your_recurring_function",// The function to execute"kwargs":{"key":"val","key2":"val2"},// Keyword arguments to pass. These are available in the event"expression":"rate(1 minute)"// When to execute it (in cron or rate format)}]To get the keyword arguments you will need to look inside the event dictionary:defyour_recurring_function(event,context):my_kwargs=event.get("kwargs")# dict of kwargs given in zappa_settings fileYou can find moreexample event sources here.Asynchronous Task ExecutionZappa also now offers the ability to seamlessly execute functions asynchronously in a completely separate AWS Lambda instance!For example, if you have a Flask API for ordering a pie, you can call yourbakefunction seamlessly in a completely separate Lambda instance by using thezappa.asynchronous.taskdecorator like so:fromflaskimportFlaskfromzappa.asynchronousimporttaskapp=Flask(__name__)@taskdefmake_pie():""" This takes a long time! """ingredients=get_ingredients()pie=bake(ingredients)deliver(pie)@app.route('/api/order/pie')deforder_pie():""" This returns immediately! """make_pie()return"Your pie is being made!"And that's it! Your API response will return immediately, while themake_piefunction executes in a completely different Lambda instance.When calls to @task decorated functions or the zappa.asynchronous.run command occur outside of Lambda, such as your local dev environment,
the functions will execute immediately and locally. The zappa asynchronous functionality only works
when in the Lambda environment or when specifyingRemote Invocations.Catching ExceptionsPutting a try..except block on an asynchronous task like this:@taskdefmake_pie():try:ingredients=get_ingredients()pie=bake(ingredients)deliver(pie)exceptFaultaserror:"""send an email"""...returnResponse('Web services down',status=503)will cause an email to be sent twice for the same error. Seeasynchronous retries at AWS. To work around this side-effect, and have the fault handler execute only once, change the return value to:@taskdefmake_pie():try:"""code block"""exceptFaultaserror:"""send an email"""...return{}#or return TrueTask SourcesBy default, this feature uses direct AWS Lambda invocation. You can instead use AWS Simple Notification Service as the task event source by using thetask_snsdecorator, like so:fromzappa.asynchronousimporttask_sns@task_snsUsing SNS also requires setting the following settings in yourzappa_settings:{"dev":{.."async_source":"sns",// Source of async tasks. Defaults to "lambda""async_resources":true,// Create the SNS topic to use. Defaults to true...}}This will automatically create and subscribe to the SNS topic the code will use when you call thezappa schedulecommand.Using SNS will also return a message ID in case you need to track your invocations.Direct InvocationYou can also use this functionality without a decorator by passing your function tozappa.asynchronous.run, like so:fromzappa.asynchronousimportrunrun(your_function,args,kwargs)# Using Lambdarun(your_function,args,kwargs,service='sns')# Using SNSRemote InvocationsBy default, Zappa will use lambda's current function name and current AWS region. If you wish to invoke a lambda with
a different function name/region or invoke your lambda from outside of lambda, you must specify theremote_aws_lambda_function_nameandremote_aws_regionarguments so that the application knows which function and
region to use. For example, if some part of our pizza making application had to live on an EC2 instance, but we
wished to call the make_pie() function on its own Lambda instance, we would do it as follows:@task(remote_aws_lambda_function_name='pizza-pie-prod',remote_aws_region='us-east-1')defmake_pie():""" This takes a long time! """ingredients=get_ingredients()pie=bake(ingredients)deliver(pie)If those task() parameters were not used, then EC2 would execute the function locally. These sameremote_aws_lambda_function_nameandremote_aws_regionarguments can be used on the zappa.asynchronous.run() function as well.RestrictionsThe following restrictions to this feature apply:Functions must have a clean import path -- i.e. no closures, lambdas, or methods.argsandkwargsmust be JSON-serializable.The JSON-serialized arguments must be within the size limits for Lambda (256K) or SNS (256K) events.All of this code is still backwards-compatible with non-Lambda environments - it simply executes in a blocking fashion and returns the result.Running Tasks in a VPCIf you're running Zappa in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you'll need to configure your subnets to allow your lambda to communicate with services inside your VPC as well as the public Internet. A minimal setup requires two subnets.Insubnet-a:Create a NATCreate an Internet gatewayIn the route table, create a route pointing the Internet gateway to 0.0.0.0/0.Insubnet-b:Place your lambda functionIn the route table, create a route pointing the NAT that belongs tosubnet-ato 0.0.0.0/0.You can place your lambda in multiple subnets that are configured the same way assubnet-bfor high availability.Some helpful resources arethis tutorial,this other tutorialandthis AWS doc page.ResponsesIt is possible to capture the responses of Asynchronous tasks.Zappa uses DynamoDB as the backend for these.To capture responses, you must configure aasync_response_tableinzappa_settings. This is the DynamoDB table name. Then, when decorating with@task, passcapture_response=True.Async responses are assigned aresponse_id. This is returned as a property of theLambdaAsyncResponse(orSnsAsyncResponse) object that is returned by the@taskdecorator.Example:fromzappa.asynchronousimporttask,get_async_responsefromflaskimportFlask,make_response,abort,url_for,redirect,request,jsonifyfromtimeimportsleepapp=Flask(__name__)@app.route('/payload')defpayload():delay=request.args.get('delay',60)x=longrunner(delay)returnredirect(url_for('response',response_id=x.response_id))@app.route('/async-response/<response_id>')defresponse(response_id):response=get_async_response(response_id)ifresponseisNone:abort(404)ifresponse['status']=='complete':returnjsonify(response['response'])sleep(5)return"Not yet ready. Redirecting.",302,{'Content-Type':'text/plain; charset=utf-8','Location':url_for('response',response_id=response_id,backoff=5),'X-redirect-reason':"Not yet ready.",}@task(capture_response=True)deflongrunner(delay):sleep(float(delay))return{'MESSAGE':"It took{}seconds to generate this.".format(delay)}Advanced SettingsThere are other settings that you can define in your local settings

This can be disabled via thekeep_warmsetting.Serving Static Files / Binary UploadsZappa is now able to serve and receive binary files, as detected by their MIME-type.However, generally Zappa is designed for running your application code, not for serving static web assets. If you plan on serving custom static assets in your web application (CSS/JavaScript/images/etc.,), you'll likely want to use a combination of AWS S3 and AWS CloudFront.Your web application framework will likely be able to handle this for you automatically. For Flask, there isFlask-S3, and for Django, there isDjango-Storages.Similarly, you may want to design your application so that static binary uploads godirectly to S3, which then triggers an event response defined in youreventssetting! That's thinking serverlessly!Enabling CORSThe simplest way to enable CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) for your Zappa application is to setcorstotruein your Zappa settings file and update, which is the equivalent of pushing the "Enable CORS" button in the AWS API Gateway console. This is disabled by default, but you may wish to enable it for APIs which are accessed from other domains, etc.You can also simply handle CORS directly in your application. Your web framework will probably have an extension to do this, such asdjango-cors-headersorFlask-CORS. Using these will make your code more portable.Large ProjectsAWS currently limits Lambda zip sizes to 50 megabytes. If your project is larger than that, setslim_handler: truein yourzappa_settings.json. In this case, your fat application package will be replaced with a small handler-only package. The handler file then pulls the rest of the large project down from S3 at run time! The initial load of the large project may add to startup overhead, but the difference should be minimal on a warm lambda function. Note that this will also eat into the storage space of your application function. Note that AWS currentlylimitsthe/tmpdirectory storage to 512 MB, so your project must still be smaller than that.Enabling Bash CompletionBash completion can be enabled by adding the following to your .bashrc:eval"$(register-python-argcompletezappa)"register-python-argcompleteis provided by the argcomplete Python package. If this package was installed in a virtualenv
then the command must be run there. Alternatively you can execute:activate-global-python-argcomplete --dest=- > fileThe file's contents should then be sourced in e.g. ~/.bashrc.Enabling Secure Endpoints on API GatewayAPI KeyYou can use theapi_key_requiredsetting to generate an API key to all the routes of your API Gateway. The process is as follows:Deploy/redeploy (update won't work) and write down theidfor the key that has been createdGo to AWS console > Amazon API Gateway andselect "API Keys" and find the keyvalue(for examplekey_value)select "Usage Plans", create a new usage plan and link the API Key and the API that Zappa has created for youSend a request where you pass the key value as a header calledx-api-keyto access the restricted endpoints (for example with curl:curl --header "x-api-key: key_value"). Note that without the x-api-key header, you will receive a 403.IAM PolicyYou can enable IAM-based (v4 signing) authorization on an API by setting theiam_authorizationsetting totrue. Your API will then require signed requests and access can be controlled viaIAM policy. Unsigned requests will receive a 403 response, as will requesters who are not authorized to access the API. Enabling this will override the Authorizer configuration (see below).API Gateway Lambda AuthorizersIf you deploy an API endpoint with Zappa, you can take advantage ofAPI Gateway Lambda Authorizersto implement a token-based authentication - all you need to do is to provide a function to create the required output, Zappa takes care of the rest. A good start for the function is theAWS Labs blueprint example.If you are wondering for what you would use an Authorizer, here are some potential use cases:Call out to OAuth providerDecode a JWT token inlineLookup in a self-managed DB (for example DynamoDB)Zappa can be configured to call a function inside your code to do the authorization, or to call some other existing lambda function (which lets you share the authorizer between multiple lambdas). You control the behavior by specifying either thearnorfunction_namevalues in theauthorizersettings block.For example, to get the Cognito identity, add this to azappa_settings.yaml:context_header_mappings:user_id:authorizer.user_idWhich can now be accessed in Flask like this:fromflaskimportrequest@route('/hello')defhello_world:print(request.headers.get('user_id'))Cognito User Pool AuthorizerYou can also use AWS Cognito User Pool Authorizer by adding:{"authorizer":{"type":"COGNITO_USER_POOLS","provider_arns":["arn:aws:cognito-idp:{region}:{account_id}:userpool/{user_pool_id}"]}}API Gateway Resource PolicyYou can also use API Gateway Resource Policies. Example of IP Whitelisting:{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Principal":"*","Action":"execute-api:Invoke","Resource":"execute-api:/*","Condition":{"IpAddress":{"aws:SourceIp":["1.2.3.4/32"]}}}]}Setting Environment VariablesLocal Environment VariablesIf you want to set local environment variables for a deployment stage, you can simply set them in yourzappa_settings.json:{"dev":{..."environment_variables":{"your_key":"your_value"}},...}You can then access these inside your application with:importosyour_value=os.environ.get('your_key')If your project needs to be aware of the type of environment you're deployed to, you'll also be able to getSERVERTYPE(AWS Lambda),FRAMEWORK(Zappa),PROJECT(your project name) andSTAGE(dev,production, etc.) variables at any time.Remote AWS Environment VariablesIf you want to use native AWS Lambda environment variables you can use theaws_environment_variablesconfiguration setting. These are useful as you can easily change them via the AWS Lambda console or cli at runtime. They are also useful for storing sensitive credentials and to take advantage of KMS encryption of environment variables.During development, you can add your Zappa defined variables to your locally running app by, for example, using the below (for Django, to manage.py).if'SERVERTYPE'inos.environandos.environ['SERVERTYPE']=='AWS Lambda':importjsonimportosjson_data=open('zappa_settings.json')env_vars=json.load(json_data)['dev']['environment_variables']forkey,valinenv_vars.items():os.environ[key]=valRemote Environment VariablesAny environment variables that you have set outside of Zappa (via AWS Lambda console or cli) will remain as they are when runningupdate, unless they are also inaws_environment_variables, in which case the remote value will be overwritten by the one in the settings file. If you are using KMS-encrypted AWS environment variables, you can set your KMS Key ARN in theaws_kms_key_arnsetting. Make sure that the values you set are encrypted in such case.Note: if you rely on these as well asenvironment_variables, and you have the same key names, then those inenvironment_variableswill take precedence as they are injected in the lambda handler.Remote Environment Variables (via an S3 file)S3 remote environment variables were added to Zappa before AWS introduced native environment variables for Lambda (via the console and cli). Before going down this route check if above make more sense for your usecase.If you want to use remote environment variables to configure your application (which is especially useful for things like sensitive credentials), you can create a file and place it in an S3 bucket to which your Zappa application has access. To do this, add theremote_envkey to zappa_settings pointing to a file containing a flat JSON object, so that each key-value pair on the object will be set as an environment variable and value whenever a new lambda instance spins up.For example, to ensure your application has access to the database credentials without storing them in your version control, you can add a file to S3 with the connection string and load it into the lambda environment using theremote_envconfiguration setting.super-secret-config.json (uploaded to my-config-bucket):{"DB_CONNECTION_STRING":"super-secret:database"}zappa_settings.json:{"dev":{..."remote_env":"s3://my-config-bucket/super-secret-config.json",},...}Now in your application you can use:importosdb_string=os.environ.get('DB_CONNECTION_STRING')API Gateway Context VariablesIf you want to map an API Gateway context variable (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-mapping-template-reference.html) to an HTTP header you can set up the mapping inzappa_settings.json:{"dev":{..."context_header_mappings":{"HTTP_header_name":"API_Gateway_context_variable"}},...}For example, if you want to expose the $context.identity.cognitoIdentityId variable as the HTTP header CognitoIdentityId, and $context.stage as APIStage, you would have:{"dev":{..."context_header_mappings":{"CognitoIdentityId":"identity.cognitoIdentityId","APIStage":"stage"}},...}Catching Unhandled ExceptionsBy default, if anunhandledexception happens in your code, Zappa will just print the stacktrace into a CloudWatch log. If you wish to use an external reporting tool to take note of those exceptions, you can use theexception_handlerconfiguration option.zappa_settings.json:{"dev":{..."exception_handler":"your_module.unhandled_exceptions",},...}The function has to accept three arguments: exception, event, and context:your_module.pydefunhandled_exceptions(e,event,context):send_to_raygun(e,event)# gather data you need and sendreturnTrue# Prevent invocation retryYou may still need a similar exception handler inside your application, this is just a way to catch exception which happen at the Zappa/WSGI layer (typically event-based invocations, misconfigured settings, bad Lambda packages, and permissions issues).By default, AWS Lambda will attempt to retry an event based (non-API Gateway, e.g. CloudWatch) invocation if an exception has been thrown. However, you can prevent this by returning True, as in example above, so Zappa that will not re-raise the uncaught exception, thus preventing AWS Lambda from retrying the current invocation.Using Custom AWS IAM Roles and PoliciesCustom AWS IAM Roles and Policies for DeploymentYou can specify whichlocalprofile to use for deploying your Zappa application by defining
theprofile_namesetting, which will correspond to a profile in your AWS credentials file.Custom AWS IAM Roles and Policies for ExecutionThe default IAM policy created by Zappa for executing the Lambda is very permissive.
It grants access to all actions for
all resources for types CloudWatch, S3, Kinesis, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, and Route53; lambda:InvokeFunction
for all Lambda resources; Put to all X-Ray resources; and all Network Interface operations to all EC2
resources. While this allows most Lambdas to work correctly with no extra permissions, it is
generally not an acceptable set of permissions for most continuous integration pipelines or
production deployments. Instead, you will probably want to manually manage your IAM policies.To manually define the policy of your Lambda execution role, you must setmanage_rolesto false and define
either therole_nameorrole_arnin your Zappa settings file.{"dev":{..."manage_roles":false,// Disable Zappa client managing roles."role_name":"MyLambdaRole",// Name of your Zappa execution role. Optional, default: <project_name>-<env>-ZappaExecutionRole."role_arn":"arn:aws:iam::12345:role/app-ZappaLambdaExecutionRole",// ARN of your Zappa execution role. Optional....},...}Ongoing discussion about the minimum policy requirements necessary for a Zappa deploymentcan be found here.
A more robust solution to managing these entitlements will likely be implemented soon.To add permissions to the default Zappa execution policy, use theextra_permissionssetting:{"dev":{..."extra_permissions":[{// Attach any extra permissions to this policy."Effect":"Allow","Action":["rekognition:*"],// AWS Service ARN"Resource":"*"}]},...}AWS X-RayZappa can enableAWS X-Raysupport on your function with a configuration setting:{"dev":{..."xray_tracing":true},...}This will enable it on the Lambda function and allow you to instrument your code with X-Ray.
For example, with Flask:fromaws_xray_sdk.coreimportxray_recorderapp=Flask(__name__)xray_recorder.configure(service='my_app_name')@route('/hello')@xray_recorder.capture('hello')defhello_world:return'Hello'You may use the capture decorator to create subsegments around functions, orxray_recorder.begin_subsegment('subsegment_name')andxray_recorder.end_subsegment()within a function. The officialX-Ray documentation for Pythonhas more information on how to use this with your code.Note that you may create subsegments in your code but an exception will be raised if you try to create a segment, as it iscreated by the lambda worker. This also means that if you use Flask you must not use theXRayMiddleware the documentation suggests.Globally Available Server-less ArchitecturesClick to seeslides from ServerlessConf London!During theinitprocess, you will be given the option to deploy your application "globally." This will allow you to deploy your application to all available AWS regions simultaneously in order to provide a consistent global speed, increased redundancy, data isolation, and legal compliance. You can also choose to deploy only to "primary" locations, the AWS regions with-1in their names.To learn more about these capabilities, seethese slidesfrom ServerlessConf London.Raising AWS Service LimitsOut of the box, AWS sets a limit of1000 concurrent executionsfor your functions. If you start to breach these limits, you may start to see errors likeClientError: An error occurred (LimitExceededException) when calling the PutTargets.."or something similar.To avoid this, you can file aservice ticketwith Amazon to raise your limits up to the many tens of thousands of concurrent executions which you may need. This is a fairly common practice with Amazon, designed to prevent you from accidentally creating extremely expensive bug reports. So, before raising your service limits, make sure that you don't have any rogue scripts which could accidentally create tens of thousands of parallel executions that you don't want to pay for.Dead Letter QueuesIf you want to utiliseAWS Lambda's Dead Letter Queue featuresimply add the keydead_letter_arn, with the value being the complete ARN to the corresponding SNS topic or SQS queue in yourzappa_settings.json.You must have already created the corresponding SNS/SQS topic/queue, and the Lambda function execution role must have been provisioned with read/publish/sendMessage access to the DLQ resource.Unique Package IDFor monitoring of different deployments, a unique UUID for each package is available inpackage_info.jsonin the root directory of your application's package.  You can use this information or a hash of this file for such things as tracking errors across different deployments, monitoring status of deployments and other such things on services such as Sentry and New Relic. The package will contain:{"build_platform":"darwin","build_user":"frank","build_time":"1509732511","uuid":"9c2df9e6-30f4-4c0a-ac4d-4ecb51831a74"}Application Load Balancer Event SourceZappa can be used to handle events triggered by Application Load Balancers (ALB). This can be useful in a few circumstances:Since API Gateway has a hard limit of 30 seconds before timing out, you can use an ALB for longer running requests.API Gateway is billed per-request; therefore, costs can become excessive with high throughput services. ALBs pricing model makes much more sense financially if you're expecting a lot of traffic to your Lambda.ALBs can be placed within a VPC, which may make more sense for private endpoints than using API Gateway's private model (using AWS PrivateLink).Like API Gateway, Zappa can automatically provision ALB resources for you.  You'll need to add the following to yourzappa_settings:"alb_enabled": true,
"alb_vpc_config": {
    "CertificateArn": "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:[your-account-id]:certificate/[certificate-id]",
    "SubnetIds": [
        // Here, you'll want to provide a list of subnets for your ALB, eg. 'subnet-02a58266'
    ],
    "SecurityGroupIds": [
        // And here, a list of security group IDs, eg. 'sg-fbacb791'
    ]
}More information on using ALB as an event source for Lambda can be foundhere.An important note: right now, Zappa will provision ONE lambda to ONE load balancer, which means usingbase_pathalong with ALB configuration is currently unsupported.Endpoint ConfigurationAPI Gateway can be configured to be only accessible in a VPC. To enable this;configure your VPC to supportthen set theendpoint_configurationtoPRIVATEand set up Resource Policy on the API Gateway. A note about this; if you're using a private endpoint, Zappa won't be able to tell if the API is returning a successful status code upon deploy or update, so you'll have to check it manually to ensure your setup is working properly.For full list of options for endpoint configuration refer toAPI Gateway EndpointConfiguration documentationExample Private API Gateway configurationzappa_settings.json:{"dev":{..."endpoint_configuration":["PRIVATE"],"apigateway_policy":"apigateway_resource_policy.json",...},...}apigateway_resource_policy.json:{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Deny","Principal":"*","Action":"execute-api:Invoke","Resource":"execute-api:/*","Condition":{"StringNotEquals":{"aws:sourceVpc":"{{vpcID}}"// UPDATE ME}}},{"Effect":"Allow","Principal":"*","Action":"execute-api:Invoke","Resource":"execute-api:/*"}]}Cold Starts (Experimental)Lambda may provide additional resources than provisioned during cold start initialization.
