Can you clarify some questions I have? 1) I assume the goal is to have a CORS-friendly HTTPS endpoint that hosts the datasette service + user's db. 2) If that's the goal, I think Lambda alone is insufficient. Lambda provides the compute fabric, but not the HTTP routing. You'd also need to add Application Load Balancer or API Gateway to provide an HTTP endpoint that routes to the lambda function. Do you have a preference between ALB or API GW? ALB has better economics at scale, but has a minimum monthly cost. API GW has worse per-request economics, but scales to zero when no requests are happening. 3) Does Datasette have any native components, or is it all pure python? If it has native bits, they'll likely need to be recompiled to work on Amazon Linux 2. 4) There are a few disparate services that need to be wired together to expose a Python service securely to the web. If I was doing this outside of the datasette publish system, I'd use an AWS CloudFormation template. Even within datasette, I think it still makes sense to use a CloudFormation template and just have the publish plugin invoke it (via the standard `aws` cli) with user-specified parameters. Does that sound reasonable to you? Thanks for your help! | {"total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | 317001500 |
