How to Run a Python Docker Image on AWS Lambda

Learn how to run a Python Docker image on AWS Lambda using Lambda container images.

Using Docker containers for your Python app on AWS Lambda means you can create a special environment for your app with its own tools and settings, making sure it works everywhere, and also making it easy to include all the things (libraries and packages)your app needs to run correctly.

You are brilliant!! Following your steps, I deployed several Python apps to AWS Lambda. Your instructions were clear, code was perfect (worked fine without any changes) and explanations were precise. Very rare in free YouTube tutorials. Thank you.

Fantastic video. It covered so much (CDK, Docker, Lambda) in just 13 minutes. And it actually all works really easily. My first interaction with lambda was a few years ago and decided I would never, ever touch it. But after this video, with CDK and the other progress since then, I am reconsidering moving my workflows over to lambda instead of FastAPI. Pretty much all because of watching this video.

Thank you for sharing this! It saves me a lot of time trying to create a bunch of layers to execute some heavy deps functions on AWS Lambda 🤯🙏

I'm very thankful for this video. I really struggle with GUI tools like websites. This command line interface solution really helped me to ship and urgent work I was struggling to configure on aws web interface. Thank you for your work.

[terryyyzhang]

Thanks. It could be more helpful if you walk through the permission setting in IAM, as I end up spending an hour configuring that during bootstrapping as a newbie.

This is was so helpful! Thank you so much!

[kchang]

Thank you so much for the video. Very clear.
I have 1 question - the path you're using for all this, is it on your local machine? or is it via aws cli on the aws box, given the <ap-southeast-2>?

[immanuelpeter]

What if we want to use env variables? Where would we place them and how can we retrieve them in the py file?

[CloudScience-zl]

I absolutely needed this bro. Thank you so much. +1 follow

[davidcasanova]

Thanks a lot ! Nice tutorial.
Do you plan to make a video tutorial for a larger project, such as building a full-stack website or something similar ?

[volodymyrtruba]

Fantastic video! However, how do we handle logic that takes more than 3 seconds to execute, considering Discord messages have a 3-second limit?

[prajganesh]

Great explanation. What are ways you can pass parameters to the container?
