This provides everything needed to package an aws lambda function and some trivial python (with some marginally less trivial packages) to show off end-to-end nix lambda packaging.

• Nix
• direnv (be certain to include the direnv hook for your shell)
• nix-direnv
• docker (for running the image locally)

• Clone the repository
• run the following in the repo base directory to give direnv permission:

direnv allow

• to package the python library, run the following:

nix-build

• to package the docker container, run the following on a compatible target platform (linux x86_64 gnu)

nix-build docker.nix

The target lambda container will be at result.

• The target lambda can be pushed to the container service of choice and run within an aws lambda.
• To run locally, follow the instructions at aws docs to run the container via the lambda runtime emulator
