ffmpeg timelapse lambda with s3

timelapse-lambda

installation

1. Deploy the ffmpeg-lambda-layer on your Lambda

2. Create an S3 bucket

name it, for example, "garden-snapshots" in the same region as the ffmpeg-lambda-layer

3. Create timelapse lambda

run ./create-aws-lambda by specifying the needed parameters, below you can find an example.

in the same region as above!

./create-aws-lambda \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --lambda Timelapse \
  --role arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXX:role/lambda_name \
  --ffmpeg arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:XXXXXXXXXXX:layer:ffmpeg:1

4. update the lambda with the code

specify the region and the lambda name as above and run:

./deploy-aws-lambda \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --lambda Timelapse

usage

npm install and take a look at launch-lambda-example.js:

#!/usr/bin/env node

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')

const region = 'us-east-1'

const apiVersion = 'latest'
const lambda = new AWS.Lambda({ apiVersion, region })
const invokeParams = { FunctionName: 'Timelapse' }

lambda.invoke(invokeParams, (err, data) => {
  console.log(err, data)
})

timelapse-lambda's Issues

missing lambda.zip file?

Hi - thanks for creating this! I'm new to lambda and may be missing something simple, but when I run create-aws-lambda I get the error:

Error parsing parameter '--zip-file': Unable to load paramfile fileb://lambda.zip: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'lambda.zip'

This is probably basic and due to my inexperience. Thanks!
