🐑 lambda-shearer ✂️

lambda-shearer is a Node CLI tool that helps to configure AWS Lambda function resources properly. It runs lambda function with a predefined set of memory settings and returns min/max/average for each. This way, it is easier to make a decision about optimal configuration based on needs and cost.

Usage

Requires Node 8.10 or higher. AWS credentials must be preconfigured before use.

npm install -g lambda-shearer

> lambda-shearer -h

Options:
  --lambda, -l       lambda function name or ARN                      [required]
  --payload, -p      path to a file that contains JSON payload or function that
                     produces one (is invoked with one argument: index)
                                                                      [required]
  --region, -r       AWS region
  --repeats, -n      number of lambda function invocations for each memory
                     setting                                       [default: 10]
  --concurrency, -c  number of concurrent invocations to use        [default: 1]
  --delay, -d        delay before each invoke                       [default: 0]
  --verbose, -v      print verbose output                       [default: false]
  --steps, -s        comma-separated list of memory settings, in MB, for your
                     lambda function to be tested with                [required]
  --warmup, -w       perform warmup call before actual benchmark [default: true]
  --timer, -t        method to use for measuring duration
                           [choices: "execution", "wall"] [default: "execution"]

Example:

> lambda-shearer -l <function name or ARN> -s 128,512,1024 -r us-east-1 -n 100 -p ./payload.json
