AWS CloudFormation Lambda Serverless

Name: giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit
Rating: 82.6470588235294 (1 reviews)
Author: giuseppe-trisciuoglio

Overview

Create production-ready serverless infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates. This skill covers Lambda functions, layers, event sources, API Gateway, Step Functions, cold start optimization, and best practices for parameters, outputs, and cross-stack references.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

Creating new Lambda functions with CloudFormation
Configuring Lambda layers for shared code
Integrating Lambda with API Gateway (REST and HTTP API)
Implementing event sources (SQS, SNS, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB)
Creating Step Functions with Lambda workflows
Optimizing cold start and performance
Organizing templates with Parameters, Outputs, Mappings, Conditions
Implementing cross-stack references with export/import
Using Transform for macros and reuse

Instructions

Follow these steps to create Lambda infrastructure with CloudFormation:

Define Function Parameters: Specify runtime, handler, and memory settings
Configure Code Source: Set S3 bucket and key for deployment package
Set Up IAM Role: Define execution role with minimal permissions
Add Environment Variables: Configure function settings securely
Implement Event Sources: Connect triggers (API Gateway, SQS, SNS, etc.)
Configure Layers: Add shared code libraries for reuse
Set Up Dead Letter Queue: Configure error handling for failed invocations
Add Monitoring: Enable X-Ray tracing and CloudWatch logs

For complete examples, see the EXAMPLES.md file.

Best Practices

Security

Use IAM roles with minimum necessary permissions
Encrypt environment variables with KMS
Use VPC for private resource access
Configure resource-based policies for invocations
Enable AWS WAF for API Gateway protection
Use API keys and throttling for protection

Performance

Choose memory size based on profiling
Use provisioned concurrency for critical latency
Optimize package size for cold start
Use layers for shared dependencies
Pre-compile code for interpreted languages
Consider SnapStart for Java/.NET

Monitoring

Enable detailed metrics and tracing
Configure appropriate log retention
Create alarms for errors and throttling
Use Lambda destinations for async error handling
Implement distributed tracing

Deployment

Use change sets before deployment
Test templates with cfn-lint
Organize stacks by lifecycle and ownership
Use nested stacks for modularity
Implement blue/green deployments

CloudFormation Stack Management Best Practices

          Principal: "*"
          Action:
            - Update:Replace

          Condition:

Termination Protection

Enable termination protection to prevent accidental stack deletion, especially for production environments.

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09
Description: Lambda function with termination protection

Resources:
  MyLambdaFunction:
    Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
    Properties:
      FunctionName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-function"
      Runtime: python3.11
      Handler: app.handler
      Code:
        S3Bucket: !Ref CodeBucket
        S3Key: lambda/function.zip
      Role: !GetAtt LambdaExecutionRole.Arn

# Enable termination protection (must be set during stack creation)
# This is a stack-level attribute, not a resource

Important: Termination protection must be enabled during stack creation via AWS Console, CLI, or API:

aws cloudformation create-stack \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack \
  --template-body file://template.yaml \
  --enable-termination-protection \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

Drift Detection

Detect when infrastructure has diverged from the CloudFormation template.

Resources:
  # All Lambda resources support drift detection
  MyLambdaFunction:
    Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
    Properties:
      FunctionName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-function"
      Runtime: python3.11
      Handler: app.handler
      Code:
        S3Bucket: !Ref CodeBucket
        S3Key: lambda/function.zip
      Role: !GetAtt LambdaExecutionRole.Arn
      Environment:
        Variables:
          ENVIRONMENT: !Ref Environment
          LOG_LEVEL: !Ref LogLevel

CLI commands for drift detection:

# Detect drift on a stack
aws cloudformation detect-drift --stack-name my-lambda-stack

# Get drift detection status
aws cloudformation describe-stack-drift-detection-status \
  --stack-drift-detection-id <detection-id>

# Get resource drift status
aws cloudformation describe-stack-resource-drifts \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack

# Compare actual vs expected resource properties
aws cloudformation get-stack-policy --stack-name my-lambda-stack

Change Sets

Use change sets to preview and review stack changes before execution.

Resources:
  MyLambdaFunction:
    Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
    Properties:
      FunctionName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-function"
      Runtime: python3.11
      Handler: app.handler
      Code:
        S3Bucket: !Ref CodeBucket
        S3Key: lambda/function.zip
      Role: !GetAtt LambdaExecutionRole.Arn
      MemorySize: !Ref MemorySize
      Timeout: !Ref Timeout

Parameters:
  MemorySize:
    Type: Number
    Default: 256
    Description: Memory allocation in MB

  Timeout:
    Type: Number
    Default: 30
    Description: Function timeout in seconds

Change set workflow:

# 1. Create a change set
aws cloudformation create-change-set \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack \
  --change-set-name my-changeset \
  --template-body file://template.yaml \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM \
  --parameters ParameterKey=MemorySize,ParameterValue=512

# 2. Describe the change set to review changes
aws cloudformation describe-change-set \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack \
  --change-set-name my-changeset

# 3. Execute the change set
aws cloudformation execute-change-set \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack \
  --change-set-name my-changeset

# Or delete if changes are not acceptable
aws cloudformation delete-change-set \
  --stack-name my-lambda-stack \
  --change-set-name my-changeset

Change set types:

CREATE: For new stacks
UPDATE: For existing stacks
IMPORT: For importing existing resources

Constraints and Warnings

Resource Limits

Function Limits: Maximum number of Lambda functions per region is account-dependent
Concurrent Execution Limits: Default safety limit is 1000 concurrent executions per region
Timeout Limits: Maximum timeout is 15 minutes (900 seconds)
Memory Limits: Maximum memory is 10,240 MB (10 GB)

Deployment Constraints

Function Size: Maximum deployment package size is 50 MB (zipped) or 250 MB (unzipped)
Layer Size: Maximum layer size is 250 MB (unzipped)
Environment Variables: Maximum 4 KB for environment variables
Concurrency Limits: Reserved concurrency cannot exceed account limit

Operational Constraints

Cold Starts: Cold starts add latency to first invocation of each instance
VPC Networking: Lambda in VPC has ENI limits and potential cold start delays
Event Source Limits: Event sources have rate limits that can trigger Lambda throttling
Dead Letter Queues: Failed async invocations with no DLQ are lost

Security Constraints

Execution Role: Lambda functions require IAM execution roles with appropriate permissions
Resource Policies: Resource-based policies required for cross-account access
VPC Endpoints: Private API requires VPC endpoints for AWS service access
Environment Variable Security: Environment variables are encrypted at rest but visible in console

Cost Considerations

Provisioned Concurrency: Provisioned concurrency incurs costs even when unused
Request Duration: Longer function duration directly increases costs
Memory Allocation: Higher memory settings cost more even if not utilized
Data Transfer: Data transfer costs apply for responses and external calls
Ephemeral Storage: Ephemeral storage (/tmp) costs based on size and duration

Performance Constraints

SnapStart: SnapStart only available for specific runtimes and versions
Layer Versioning: Modifying layer versions requires function update
X-Ray Tracing: X-Ray tracing adds latency and costs
Async Invocation: Async invocations have retry limits and potential duplication
