The slides.rst can be generated using Hovercraft. But the exciting stuff is in the hello_world and create_thumbs directories.
In the hello_world directory is a snippet of code you can just copy-and-paste into the TTW Lambda editor and then setup an API endpoint to see it work via a simple GET request.
Here is how to try it out:
$ virtualenv env
$ env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
$ env/bin/http https://your-url-to-your-api-endpoint
Profit!
You will see your endpoint URL in the AWS Console.
In the create_thumbs directory is sample code that showcases how to included 3rd party dependencies (even those with compiled resources) into a Lambda project. Simply zip up the contents of the folder and upload it into a S3 bucket. Then create a new Lambda function and select to upload from S3 to select the zip file.
$ cd create_thumbs
$ zip -r create_thumbs.zip
$ aws s3 cp create_thumbs.zip s3://your-bucket/
Now setup your event source to be the S3 object created event and watch the magic happen.
The demo will put files into a subdirectory called thumbs/ and I'd recommend creating and listening only for files in a subdirectory of the bucket so you don't end up in a continuous loop of creating thumbs and putting them and creating more thumbs.
