Transformers, the backbone of many state-of-the-art NLP models such as BERT, GPT has revolutionized the way we approach natural language understanding tasks. One key innovation in transformers is their ability to handle entire sequences of tokens sim...
When an User prompts the questions to the LLM, it produces the response based on the training data. The pre-trained LLM data is its parametric data. It might not have an context specific to our query. LLM still produces an answer confidently. It is t...
In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly transformed how we approach language processing. These models, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Bard, have proven their utility across a range of application...
Amazon S3 is a powerful, scalable storage service, but when multiple clients or processes attempt to write to the same S3 object simultaneously, things can get tricky. Since S3 doesn’t natively handle concurrent writes or provide object locking, it’s...
When working with distributed systems in a microservice architecture, we must always architect our services with failure in mind. When the transaction happens between a microservice, we have to handle the failures. The Saga pattern can be used in a f...
The serverless application can be easily created with AWS lambda and AWS Gateway. We can write a lambda function and configure the gateway. We get a Rest endpoint which we can call to reach the lambda function. This approach is easy but comes with a caveat. We have to configure API gateway, manage the deployments, publish to stages.
In this blog, we will see how to develop and deploy a serverless application using Lambda API, a lightweight framework for developing serverless applications.
Let's create a new project directory.
mkdir serverless-samples
cd serverless-samples
We will initiate the project and Install lambda-api dependency.
npm init
npm install lambda-api
The lambda-api just needs the 3 steps.
Create a new handler.js file and add the below contents.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Require the framework
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
const app = require("lambda-api")({ version: "v1.0", base: "v1" });
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Define API routes
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// GET
app.get("/greet/:name", (req, res) => {
// Send the response
res.status(200).json({
//name: req.params,
status: "ok",
body: "Hello " + req.params.name,
});
});
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Lambda handler
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
module.exports.router = (event, context, callback) => {
context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
// Run the request
app.run(event, context, callback);
}; // end router handler
In the above code, we have created a GET endpoint with /greet/:name. The Path parameter is name which will be passed to the GET endpoint. The API will return the response with a status code of 200 and the body will greet a person with a name that is passed in the path params. To run the request, we use app.run() method.
Login into AWS and search for Lambda service. Create a new function, provide the name and Runtime as shown below.
Create a zip file of the project and upload the zip file to function serverless-sample and change the handler to handler.router.
Invoke the function with a test event. We need to choose the template that matches the service that triggers our function or we can also create an event document in JSON.
As shown above, we have to select a New event option and select apigateway-aws-proxy template and give a test event name as gatewaysample. We will get a sample event that is compatible with the API gateway.
Now test the endpoint by adding values to the below keys.
Once configured, click on the Test button, We get the below greeting for the name passed into the function.
