Example

Actix Web

Cargo.toml

[[bin]]
name = "bootstrap"
path = "src/main.rs"

[dependencies]
lambda-web = { version = "0.2.0", features=["actix4"] }

main.rs

use lambda_web::actix_web::{self, get, App, HttpServer, Responder};
use lambda_web::{is_running_on_lambda, run_actix_on_lambda, LambdaError};

#[get("/")]
async fn hello() -> impl Responder {
    format!("Hello")
}

#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(),LambdaError> {
    let factory = move || {
        App::new().service(hello)
    };

    if is_running_on_lambda() {
        // Run on AWS Lambda
        run_actix_on_lambda(factory).await?;
    } else {
        // Local server
        HttpServer::new(factory)
            .bind("127.0.0.2.0080")?
            .run()
            .await?;
    }
    Ok(())
}

axum

Cargo.toml

[[bin]]
name = "bootstrap"
path = "src/main.rs"

[dependencies]
lambda-web = { version = "0.2.0", features=["hyper"] }
axum = "0.6"
tokio = { version = "1" }

main.rs

use axum::{routing::get, Router};
use lambda_web::{is_running_on_lambda, run_hyper_on_lambda, LambdaError};
use std::net::SocketAddr;

// basic handler that responds with a static string
async fn root() -> &'static str {
    "Hello, World!"
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), LambdaError> {
    // build our application with a route
    let app = Router::new().route("/", get(root));

    if is_running_on_lambda() {
        // Run app on AWS Lambda
        run_hyper_on_lambda(app).await?;
    } else {
        // Run app on local server
        let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 8080));
        axum::Server::bind(&addr).serve(app.into_make_service()).await?;
    }
    Ok(())

Rocket

Cargo.toml

rocket = "0.5.0-rc.2"

main.rs

use rocket::{self, get, routes};
use lambda_web::{is_running_on_lambda, launch_rocket_on_lambda, LambdaError};

#[get("/hello/<name>/<age>")]
fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}

#[rocket::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), LambdaError> {
    let rocket = rocket::build().mount("/", routes![hello]);
    if is_running_on_lambda() {
        // Launch on AWS Lambda
        launch_rocket_on_lambda(rocket).await?;
    } else {
        // Launch local server
        let _ = rocket.launch().await?;
    }
    Ok(())

path = "src/main.rs"

[dependencies]
lambda-web = { version = "0.2.0", features=["hyper"] }
warp = "0.3"

use warp::Filter;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), LambdaError> {
    // GET /hello/warp => 200 OK with body "Hello, warp!"
    let hello = warp::path!("hello" / String).map(|name| format!("Hello, {}", name));

    if is_running_on_lambda() {

Create deploy ZIP file

As of writing (Nov, 2021), we have two options to run Rust on AWS Lambda: Amazon Linux 2 custom runtime or Docker container image.

I recommend ZIP deploy to Amazon Linux 2 custom runtime (provided.al2) because it's faster cold start time than container image.

To build Amazon Linux 2 compatible binary, see Deploy.md for more details.

Setup AWS Lambda & function URLs

  • Create lambda function with provided.al2 custom runtime. Choose "Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2" .
  • Upload ZIP file described above.
  • IAM role, memory settings, etc. are as your demands.
    As sample code above consumes only 30MB of memory, many simple Rust app can fit in 128MB setting.
  • Create function URL, then you can call your Lambda function with https://<url-id>.lambda-url.<region>.on.aws
  • You can use CloudFront for custom domain.

Setup AWS Lambda & API gateway

Lambda

  • Create lambda function with provided.al2 custom runtime. Choose "Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2" .
  • Upload ZIP file described above.
  • IAM role, memory settings, etc. are as your demands.
    As sample code above consumes only 30MB of memory, many simple Rust app can fit in 128MB setting.

API Gateway (HTTP)

  • Create HTTP API
  • Create single route "$default" and attach Lambda integration. Make sure, payload format version is "2.0"

API Gateway (REST)

  • Create REST API
  • Create two resources:
    • ANY method on route / and attach Lambda proxy integration.
    • ANY method on route /{proxy+} and attach Lambda proxy integration.
  • In settings tab, add */* binary media type.
  • Then, deploy API to stage.
