Apex is a small tool for deploying and managing AWS Lambda functions. With shims for languages not yet supported by Lambda, you can use Golang out of the box.
Installation
Download binaries or:
$ go get github.com/apex/apex/cmd/apex
Runtimes
Currently supports:
- Nodejs
- Golang
- Python
Features
- Supports languages Lambda does not natively support via shim, such as Go
- Binary install (useful for continuous deployment in CI etc)
- Project level function and resource management
- Command-line function invocation with JSON streams
- Transparently generates a zip for your deploy
- Function rollback support
- Tail function CloudWatchLogs
- Concurrency for quick deploys
Example
Apex projects are made up of a project.json configuration file, and zero or more Lambda functions defined in the "functions" directory. Here's an example file structure:
functions
├── bar
│ ├── function.json
│ └── index.js
├── baz
│ ├── function.json
│ └── index.js
└── foo
├── function.json
└── index.js
project.json
The project.json file defines project level configuration that applies to all functions, and defines dependencies. For this simple example the following will do:
{
"name": "example",
"description": "Example project"
}
Each function uses a function.json configuration file to define function-specific properties such as the runtime, amount of memory allocated, and timeout. For example:
{
"name": "bar",
"description": "Node.js example function",
"runtime": "nodejs",
"memory": 128,
"timeout": 5,
"role": "arn:aws:iam::293503197324:role/lambda"
}
Finally the source for the functions themselves look like this in Node.js:
console.log('start bar')
exports.handle = function(e, ctx) {
ctx.succeed({ hello: 'bar' })
}
Or using the Golang Lambda package, Apex supports Golang out of the box with a Node.js shim:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"github.com/apex/apex"
)
type Message struct {
Hello string `json:"hello"`
}
func main() {
apex.HandleFunc(func(event json.RawMessage, ctx *apex.Context) (interface{}, error) {
return &Message{"baz"}, nil
})
}
Apex operates at the project level, but many commands allow you to specify specific functions. For example you may deploy the entire project with a single command:
$ apex deploy
Or whitelist functions to deploy:
$ apex deploy foo bar
Credentials
Via environment variables:
AWS_ACCESS_KEYAWS account access keyAWS_SECRET_KEYAWS account secret keyAWS_REGIONAWS region
Via ~/.aws configuration:
AWS_PROFILEprofile name to useAWS_REGIONAWS region (aws-sdk-go does not read ~/.aws/config)

Overview ¶
Package apex provides Lambda support for Go via a Node.js shim and this package for operating over stdio.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"github.com/apex/apex"
)
type Message struct {
Hello string `json:"hello"`
}
func main() {
apex.HandleFunc(func(event json.RawMessage, ctx *apex.Context) (interface{}, error) {
return &Message{"world"}, nil
})
}

Functions ¶
func HandleFunc ¶
func HandleFunc(h HandlerFunc)
HandleFunc handles Lambda events with the given handler function.
Types ¶
type Context ¶
type Context struct {
InvokeID string `json:"invokeid"`
RequestID string `json:"awsRequestId"`
FunctionName string `json:"functionName"`
FunctionVersion string `json:"functionVersion"`
LogGroupName string `json:"logGroupName"`
LogStreamName string `json:"logStreamName"`
MemoryLimitInMB string `json:"memoryLimitInMB"`
IsDefaultFunctionVersion bool `json:"isDefaultFunctionVersion"`
ClientContext json.RawMessage `json:"clientContext"`
}
Context represents the context data provided by a Lambda invocation.
type Handler ¶
type Handler interface {
Handle(json.RawMessage, *Context) (interface{}, error)
}
Handler handles Lambda events.
type HandlerFunc ¶
type HandlerFunc func(json.RawMessage, *Context) (interface{}, error)
HandlerFunc implements Handler.
func (HandlerFunc) Handle ¶
func (h HandlerFunc) Handle(event json.RawMessage, ctx *Context) (interface{}, error)
Handle Lambda event.
