09/23/2021, 5:39 AM📣 Need your help
I'm looking for people to try out a beta version of SST. It contains some pretty large updates to the local runtime environment which keeps your lambdas warm to serve subsequent requests. This has some pretty large impacts on performance A simple hello world Lambda goes from 450ms to 150ms round trip on my setup. An API gateway lambda I have in my application went from 1.8s to 400ms because it was able to skip cold start steps like loading SSM params. I'm hoping to get this to beta state end of this week. Let me know in this thread if you're interested.

09/23/2021, 4:42 PMHahaha, we are the risk takers.

09/23/2021, 4:43 PMI might need to work during weekend if @thdxr breaks anything… but I’m ok, worth it. 😂

@Drew might be interested too. Local Lambda process takes 3.6s to start up for him 🤒

Drew
09/23/2021, 5:50 PM👋 yes! @Dennis Dang and I would like to try this! 🙏
Drew
09/23/2021, 5:52 PM🤔 we may need to update our stack to catch up with the latest sst

09/23/2021, 6:16 PMsame dev team, drew and i. 2.5 to 3.5s is def what i see. (lots of middleware code...)

thdxr
09/23/2021, 7:59 PMAre any of you using a language other than ts/js ?
d
Dennis Dang
09/23/2021, 8:04 PMwe are only using ts

09/23/2021, 8:18 PMTS here
t
thdxr
09/23/2021, 8:34 PMif you're feeling even more adventurous than a beta, this build 0.43.4-next.12+972908ed should have the new stuff. Let's call it an alpha, It works only with ts/js
thdxr
09/23/2021, 8:35 PMI've been using it for my own project and especially when doing UI work that's talking to api gateway, it makes a difference
a
Adrián Mouly
09/23/2021, 8:58 PMSo you deploy the UI without placeholder @thdxr?
t
thdxr
09/24/2021, 1:43 AMNo I meant my local Ui interacting with my live debug api endpoints
thdxr
09/24/2021, 1:43 AMwhen things are slow it's very noticible
thdxr
09/24/2021, 3:39 AMAdded Go and Python support + some bug fixes: 0.43.4-next.16+36111ec7

09/30/2021, 3:54 AMI will give this a try also :)

09/30/2021, 2:20 PMAfter changing the version I am getting
Copy code
error ...../app/node_modules/aws-lambda-ric: Command failed.t
thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:21 PMlet me publish an updated version

thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:31 PMThere is one issue right now with aws-lambda-ric - it takes forever to install and for some reason their scripts rebuild it too often
k
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:32 PMWeird I will try this version now
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:32 PMI would love to see those request times go down for development
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:34 PMSame error for me again
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:34 PMwill check if it has something to do with my machine
t
thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:34 PMhm
thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:35 PMWhen do you see this error? When you invoke the function or before?
k
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:35 PMNo when I run yarn
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:36 PMit is unable to build aws-lambda-ric
t
thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:36 PMYeah this
aws-lambda-ricthdxr
09/30/2021, 2:36 PMI think I'm gonna work on removing it as a dependency. What OS are you on?
k
Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 2:36 PMMacOs
t
thdxr
09/30/2021, 2:37 PMIf anyone else is on mac can they give that latest version a try: 0.43.10-next.18+8cb9bf3a
a
Adrián Mouly
09/30/2021, 3:21 PM@thdxr what is that library for?
t
thdxr
09/30/2021, 3:25 PMIt's the actual library that AWS uses in their system to invoke your code
thdxr
09/30/2021, 3:25 PMWe're trying to use all of these so that we closely mirror what happens in prod

Adrián Mouly
09/30/2021, 3:26 PMNice.

Kujtim Hoxha
09/30/2021, 8:07 PMI was distracted and could not test this yet, I will try tomorrow tho
Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 10:59 AMI did not get it to work this time also, looking into their preinstall script I can see that they have a check for the operating system and they don't support mac os
Copy code
echo "aws-lambda-cpp does not build on OS X. Skipping the preinstall step."Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 11:06 AMKujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 11:07 AMBecause of that this here is failing
Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 11:07 AMt
thdxr
10/01/2021, 12:14 PMWow that sucks
thdxr
10/01/2021, 12:15 PMThanks for finding that
k
Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 12:16 PMNo worries, it seems to me that they could improve this by just including prebuilt or using existing curl
Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 12:16 PMNo idea why they have to rebuild curl 😅
Kujtim Hoxha
10/01/2021, 12:17 PMAlso it looks like curl can be build only aws-lambda-cpp can not so they could maybe just build curl on macs 😅
