how to install pandas on aws lambda function

installing pandas on an aws lambda function involves creating a deployment package that includes the pandas library and its dependencies. since aws lambda has a size limit for deployment packages, you typically use a lambda layer or create a deployment package that you upload directly. here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

method 1: using a lambda layer

1. **set up your environment**:
- ensure you have python and `pip` installed on your local machine.
- install the aws cli if you haven't done so already.

2. **create a directory for the lambda layer**:


3. **install pandas and dependencies**:
- use `pip` to install pandas into the `python` directory you created:


4. **package the layer**:
- zip the content of the `python` directory:


5. **upload the layer to aws lambda**:
- use the aws cli to create a new lambda layer:

replace `python3.x` with your desired python version (e.g., `python3.8`, `python3.9`, etc.).

6. **add the layer to your lambda function**:
- go to the aws lambda console.
- select your function.
- in the "layers" section, click "add a layer".
- choose "custom layers", then select your newly created layer.

7. **use pandas in your lambda function**:
- here’s a simple example of how you can use pandas in your function:



method 2: directly packaging pandas with your lambda function

if you prefer not to use layers, you can create a deployment package with pandas included. however, this method can be a bit more complex due to the size of the library.

1. **create a virtual environment**:


2. **install pandas**:


3. **create your lambda function**:



4. **package the function**:
- zip the contents of the virtual environment and your function:


5. **upload the zip file to aws lambda**:
- use the aws cli or the aws lambda console to create a function and upload the zip file:
