awslambdarpc

Small utility to make RPC requests to a locally running AWS Lambda, for development purposes.

Installing

Run go get github.com/blmayer/awslambdarpc.

Using

You need a running lambda, let's say in your computer port 3000, then to make a request to it, run:

awslambdarpc -a localhost:3000 -d '{"body": "Hello World!"}'.

Options

You can specify an input event to your lambda in 2 ways:

• Pointing to a JSON file
• Writing the JSON as an argument

For pointing to a file use the -e or --event option, e.g.:

awslambdarpc -a localhost:3000 -e example.json,

and passing the input directly is done with the -d or --data option, such as:

awslambdarpc -a localhost:3000 -d '{"body": "Hello World!"}'.

There is also the -h or --help flags that will give you further explanation.

Why?

I couldn't setup a debugger using go and aws-sam-cli, so this way I could just compile the binary for my function, attach the debugger on it and run this utility.
