Mesa is a lightweight development framework for AWS Lambda Applications.

To Come

This assumes you understand the basics of creating a Lambda function. To start a new projects execute the following command.

git clone https://github.com/mcneely/mesa.git --depth=1

To begin using Mesa, create a new, or move an existing lambda function into the lib/ directory. You can either places its as

lib/<Function Name>.js

or

lib/<Function Name>/index.js

Make sure that <Function Name> is the exact name you will give the lambda function in AWS. When uploading the lambda in AWS, make sure that that handler is set to the default: index.handler

When you upload and execute the lambda function, the context and event objects are passed to the index.js in the root folder. This loads the Kernel and extracts the function name from the context object and uses it to call the function you places in the lib/ directory. This allows for multiple lambdas that share the same zip. The Kernel extends the default context and is passed to your function.

The Kernel currently handles logging, deployment environments, service provider for dependency injection, non-JSON POST/GET request handling.
