cloudzen/lambda-to-fargate repository overview

Thin Docker container that runs long-running Lambda tasks on AWS Fargate.

AWS Lambda has a 3 GB RAM limit and 15 minute execution time limit. Fargate provides more RAM and no time limit.

We follow the method suggested in https://kalinchernev.github.io/solving-aws-lambda-timeouts-fargate/⁠

We create a thin Fargate handler than downloads the Lambda Zip file and runs the Lambda handler code (within the extracted Zip). This lambda handler will work exactly as it does on Lambda, except it will not have a 15 minute limit.
