02/04/2019, 6:32 PMIs there a way/plan to have a way to pass arguments that belong to aws.lambda.Function to classes like HttpServer?

02/04/2019, 10:03 PMHi Mia!

02/04/2019, 10:04 PMShort answer: maybe. However, it depends on what you're trying to pass along.
lemon-spoon-91807
02/04/2019, 10:05 PMAnother very viable approach (where you want total control over things) is to use aws.apigateway.x.API

02/04/2019, 10:05 PMOne use case is if I want to run the lambda function with python3.6 but have built out all my infrastructure through pulumi with javascript — I want to pass the handler/code in

02/04/2019, 10:06 PMAh, in that case, i would not recommend HttpServer. That's a helper which is really dedicated to make it easy to serve up pure-javascript through Http

02/04/2019, 10:06 PMif you'd like to run some other sort of lambda (i.e. one that is python backed) here's the pseudo code for how you'd do it:
lemon-spoon-91807
02/04/2019, 10:08 PM Copy code
const lambda = new aws.Lambda.Function("name", ...all your args that make sense for the python version...);
const api = new aws.apigateway.x.Api("name", {
routes: [{
path: "/yourpath",
method: "GET",
eventHandler: lambda,
}]
});lemon-spoon-91807
02/04/2019, 10:09 PMThis is basically what HttpServer is doing itself:

02/04/2019, 10:09 PMok cool, so just break it down and implement it myself - that makes sense. I assume I’ll also have to do some manual configuration of IAM that would get done by pulumi if it were all JS

lemon-spoon-91807
02/04/2019, 10:09 PMyes. that's likely true

02/04/2019, 10:10 PMLooks liek we attach these policies:

aws.iam.AWSLambdaFullAccess, // Provides wide access to "serverless" services (Dynamo, S3, etc.)
aws.iam.AmazonEC2ContainerServiceFullAccess, // Required for lambda compute to be able to run Tasksh

02/04/2019, 10:13 PMre: Python docs, a lot of documentation is now live here: https://pulumi.io/reference/pkg/python/index.html

02/04/2019, 10:13 PMwe’re making rapid improvements, so there will be even more there as the week goes on, but hopefully there’s enough there to answer any questions you might have!

02/06/2019, 6:25 PM@lemon-spoon-91807 is there any specific documentation of ‘aws.apigateway.x.Api’ ? — in python I get
AttributeError: module 'pulumi_aws.apigateway' has no attribute 'x'l

02/06/2019, 6:25 PMit's only JS/TS for now

02/06/2019, 6:27 PMah, I see — right now is the best way to implement python serverless still to use pulumi in JS per above?

lemon-spoon-91807
02/06/2019, 6:28 PMi'll let @incalculable-sundown-82514 weigh in, but probably 'yes'
lemon-spoon-91807
02/06/2019, 6:28 PMyou can still use the TS/JS to set up all the scaffolding
lemon-spoon-91807
02/06/2019, 6:28 PMand then create Lambdas that point to python code

02/06/2019, 6:29 PMWe have an example that does exactly that: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-py-stepfunctions/__main__.py

02/06/2019, 6:30 PM@incalculable-sundown-82514 I tried to implement an api gateway based on that but got the above error… did you mean to send that one?

02/06/2019, 6:31 PMwhat do y’all think is the timeline for having python functionality on par with javascript’s?

incalculable-sundown-82514
02/06/2019, 6:32 PMWe have a strategy that’s written down here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2430

02/06/2019, 6:34 PMRealistically, based on the long-term plan in that issue, it would be at least a month.

02/06/2019, 7:17 PM@lemon-spoon-91807 any tips or tricks for passing things like bucket names around/into a python function from the pulumi lambda.function? I have asserted the handler and it’s picking that up fine, but I imagine I’d have to be able to pass arguments from the core javascript in that lambda block to use them in a nested lambda function
