Swift Lambda Maker, aka SLaM, is a CLI tool used for creating and packaging AWS Lambda function written in Swift. It can create a new executable Swift Package where you can start coding your Lambda as well as package that Lambda as a zipped Docker image.

• Swift 5.3+
• Docker

To download and install SLaM, run the following commands in the terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/Kilo-Loco/SLaM.git
$ cd SLaM
$ make

Next, generate the Swift Lambda project in a new directory (outside of the SLaM directory):

$ mkdir MyFirstLambda
$ cd MyFirstLambda
$ slam new

Open your project and start coding your Lambda 🚀

$ xed .

To deploy your Swift Lambda, you will need to first create a Docker image:

$ slam setup-image

Enter the name of your image:
my-first-lambda-image

Once a Docker image is created, you shouldn't have to run this command again

Now build and package your code into the Docker image:

$ slam export

Enter the name of your image:
my-first-lambda-image

Run this command every time you need to package your updated Swift Lambda.

Once the export if finished, you can find the zipped Docker image at pathToThisRepo/.build/lambda/[PROJECT_NAME]/lambda.zip

SLaM is developed completely in the open, and contributions are welcomed. Kilo Loco is relatively new to working with Docker and AWS Lambda, so there are bound to be a few bugs you can help fix 😉
