Summary

This patch release is strictly about customers bringing their own Logging Formatter.

This release ensures that when using Clear State with a custom formatter, all previously added keys will be cleared. It also guarantees that Lambda Context information will no longer be cleared abruptly before logs are printed (also for custom formatters).

There is no code change needed on customers end. We also improved the documentation to clarify the most common use cases on bringing your own formatter, and exceptional cases where you want to replace the entire Powertools Logger Formatter logic.

Huge thanks to @jacobdarrossi for spotting, and @ilias-at-adarma for confirming this bug.

Summary

This patch release addresses two main bugs: 1/ API Gateway Lambda Authorizer data class regex to validate for proxy resources (proxy+), and 2/ metrics to be automatically flushed when a single metric has 100 values.

Next release will focus on two newly identified bugs on Logger (custom formatter, child logger). Subsequently, our bandwidth remains focused on addressing the subpar experiences and operational excellence.

Summary

This release continues to focus on addressing suboptimal experiences (a.k.a papercuts).

But first... big thanks to our first time contributors @am1ru1, @houbie - thank you for helping us improve everyone's experience!

Major improvements you should know

  1. Fully mypy compliant. After a multi-month task addressing over 600 issues, Mypy users can accurately use all 14 utilities typing annotations - thanks @mploski for getting us to the finishing line!
  2. New specialized Event Handler Resolvers. When using ApiGatewayResolver to access event properties, customers didn't have full IntelliSense support from their IDEs. This release introduces APIGatewayRestResolver, APIGatewayHttpResolver, and ALBResolver to accurately provide self-documented access to all properties available - big thanks to @michaelbrewer.
  3. Testing your code docs. We've updated Parameters & Event Handler GraphQL docs to be more realistic on how you can unit test your code - thanks to @cakepietoast

Roadmap changes

We're going to fully turn our attention to our list of papercuts. Due to new features and other bugs, we let it slip a couple of times, one being as old as ~7 months. We also learned that a central roadmap didn't work well for us. It made planning harder due to the split view (2x repos to look at) situation despite its best intentions.

With GitHub's new Beta projects, we're confident we can migrate the roadmap back to each repository and give the visibility customers have been asking us. That is work we're currently doing, themes that need further research, areas we'd love contributions, and ideas we'd love to execute but lack bandwidth.

Once this is complete, we will start a draft RFC of what a modularized Powertools v2 could look like. We will take everyone's input as much as possible to help shape what breaking changes are necessary, how we might facilitate new utilities like Testing, and what an early beta as well as migration guide should look like.

Summary

Quick patch release to fix an issue with API Gateway Authorizer in Event Source Data Classes not supporting resource names using _. It's an old bug in the original blueprint this code was based on. However, it prevents anyone from having a _ in the resource name get_something which is significant enough to warrant a patch release for that alone.

Thanks to Chris Elkin for raising and @michaelbrewer for the quick fix (as always).

Summary

This is an emergency release to fix a critical Batch bug spotted by @kimberlyamandalu, where multiple failed records weren't reported due to dictionary key uniqueness - If you are using BatchProcessor, please update to 1.24.1 as soon as possible.

New official tutorial

Thanks to the gigantic effort by @mploski and @am29d on reviewing it, we now finally have an official tutorial covering core Powertools features. The tutorial demonstrates how new customers can add one feature at a time. It also opens the door to create other tutorials covering other complex features in more depth.

Please do let us know your thoughts and what other tutorials we should focus on next ;-)

New tiny function to copy Logger config to external loggers

A common question we receive is: How can I enable powertools logging for imported libraries?

Thanks to @mploski, we now have a tiny standalone function you can use to copy your current Logger config to any or a select list of loggers you want.

Why would people want that? It's a fair question. Reason is sometimes you want external libraries to have the exact same structured logging that your application has. This function allows you to specify which explicit loggers you wanna copy config to (or all), and whether you want to set a different log level.

import logging

from aws_lambda_powertools import Logger
from aws_lambda_powertools.logging import utils

logger = Logger()

external_logger = logging.logger()

utils.copy_config_to_registered_loggers(source_logger=logger)
external_logger.info("test message")

Big thanks to new contributors @thehananbhat @j2clerck on helping us make documentation better (critical to us!).

Summary

For the last release of the year (happy 2022!), we bring a major enhancements to Idempotency and Feature Flags.

We also addresses important papercuts like caching parsed JSON data in Event Sources, support for datetime format codes in Logger and the ability to ignore certain endpoints from being traced.

Did I say that 90% of this release was contributed by the community? thank you everyone!!!

HUGE shoutout to @DanyC97 on helping us make all of our documentation banners (warning, tip) consistent.

Big thanks to new contributors too (you rock!)

  • @trey-rosius for adding a medium-size GraphQL API example using a myriad of Lambda Powertools features
  • @nayaverdier for a future proof change on how we internally convert string to bool (distutils being deprecated in Python 3.12)

idempotent_function now supports dataclasses & Pydantic models

Docs with samples

When using idempotent_function to make any Python synchronous function idempotent, you might have data available as Dataclasses or Pydantic models, not just dictionaries.

This release gives you more flexibility on what data can be used as your idempotency token - it could be an entire Dataclass, Pydantic model, or fields within these models.

image

Going beyond boolean feature flags

Docs with sample

You can now use the new boolean_feature: false parameter in your schema to signal Feature Flags that you will return any JSON valid value.

Example scenario: you might have a list of features to unlock for premium customers, or a set of beta features for select customers

{
    "premium_features": {
        "boolean_type": false,
        "default": [],
        "rules": {
            "customer tier equals premium": {
                "when_match": ["no_ads", "no_limits", "chat"],
                "conditions": [
                    {
                        "action": "EQUALS",
                        "key": "tier",
                        "value": "premium"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Translating to the following API:

from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.feature_flags import FeatureFlags, AppConfigStore

app_config = AppConfigStore(
    environment="dev",
    application="product-catalogue",
    name="features"
)

feature_flags = FeatureFlags(store=app_config)

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # Get customer's tier from incoming request
    ctx = { "tier": event.get("tier", "standard") }

    # Evaluate `has_premium_features` base don customer's tier
    premium_features: list[str] = feature_flags.evaluate(name="premium_features",
                                                        context=ctx, default=False)
    for feature in premium_features:
        # enable premium features
        ...

Ignoring HTTP endpoints from tracer

AWS X-Ray has a limit of 64K tracing data. This could be a problem if you're making hundreds of HTTP requests to the same endpoint.

Alternatively, there are sensitive endpoints you might want them to not be included in your tracing data.

You can now use ignore_endpoint for this purpose - globs (*) are allowed!

from aws_lambda_powertools import Tracer

tracer = Tracer()
# ignore all calls to `ec2.amazon.com`
tracer.ignore_endpoint(hostname="ec2.amazon.com")
# ignore calls to `*.sensitive.com/password` and  `*.sensitive.com/credit-card`
tracer.ignore_endpoint(hostname="*.sensitive.com", urls=["/password", "/credit-card"])


def ec2_api_calls():
    return "suppress_api_responses"

@tracer.capture_lambda_handler
def handler(event, context):
    for x in long_list:
        ec2_api_calls()

Summary

This Christmas release was heavily focused on papercuts and two must needed improvements - Batch now supports SQS, DynamoDB, and Kinesis using the new native partial response (decreased cost), and Event Handler API Gateway now supports exception handling and overriding HTTP 404 errors.

For the next release, we're going to further invest in Mypy compliance, support native serialization of Python Dataclasses and Pydantic Models in Idempotency utility, and more!

Join us on Slack #lambda-powertools to help us make the next release even better!

New Batch Processor

image

Docs: Infra required, SQS, Kinesis, and DynamoDB

A few weeks ago Lambda added native support for partial response. Since GA, Batch utility provided that capability to SQS by handling partial failures and deleting successful messages on your behalf.

With the new capability, we've added a new BatchProcessor that can process both SQS, Kinesis Data Streams, and DynamoDB Streams.

The new capability requires an infrastructure change in the Lambda Event Source Mapping hence why a new Batch Processor - We've made sure to add complete SAM examples for SQS, Kinesis, and DynamoDB Streams on everything you need to get going including minimal IAM permissions.

We also took this opportunity to a) provide tight integration with Event Source Data Classes for self-documented batch records, b) Parser (Pydantic) integration so you can bring your own models for data schema and validation, and c) mypy is fully compliant regardles of the event type or Pydantic model you bring.

Did I also say we refreshed the entire documentation with sample events, responses, how to unit test, and a Migration Guide?

Migration guide

If you were using SQSBatchProcessor before as a decorator or as a context manager, we've written a guide to help you transition to the new more performant and cost efficient way: https://awslabs.github.io/aws-lambda-powertools-python/develop/utilities/batch/#migration-guide

A warm start with tracing, logging, data transformation, and exception handling can run as fast as 8ms end-to-end now.

Event Handler API Gateway improvements

Overriding 404 errors

Event Handler API Gateway snippet demonstrating 404 override

You can now override how we handle unmatched routes (404) by using a decorator not_found. The experience is similar to how you'd define routes, except your function will receive an exception - NotFoundError in this case.

You can customize the response by simply returning Response like you would in a more advanced route -- This should give you more flexibility to generate metrics, log errors, or anything you might want for unmatched routes.

Exception handling

Event Handler API Gateway snippet demonstrating exception handling

Besides 404 errors, you might want to handle custom validation errors, or any exception you might raise as part of your route handling. You can now use exception_handler decorator and pass any valid Python Exception.

Tracer

X-Ray Trace Annotations screenshot for the handler subsegment

Tracer now automatically adds a Service annotation if either service parameter or POWERTOOLS_SERVICE_NAME is set - This makes it easier to slice and dice all of your traces by the exact service you have deployed.

Moreover, we now include ColdStart=false for warm start invocations so you can more easily sample and analyze performance differences between cold and warm starts.

CloudFormation Custom Resources

As our Java Powertools colleagues added a new utility for easily writing CloudFormation Custom Resources, we added a link in our docs pointing to the official Python library for crafting custom resources.... just in case it's not widely known: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/custom-resource-helper
