Pandas & AWS Lambda

Question

Does anyone have a fully compiled version of pandas that is compatible with AWS Lambda?

After searching around for a few hours, I cannot seem to find what I\'m looki

Answer 1

My solution has been to maintain 2 requirements.txt style files of packages that go in my layer, one named provided_packages.txt and one named provided_linux_installs.txt

Before deployment (if the packages are not already installed) I run:

pip install -r provided_packages.txt -t layer_name/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/.
pip download -r provided_linux_installs.txt --platform manylinux1_x86_64 --no-deps -d layer_name/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages

cd layer_name/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages 
unzip \*.whl
rm *.whl

Then deploy normally (I am using cdk synth & cdk deploy \* --profile profile_name)

In case helpful, my provided_linux_installs.txt looks like this:

pandas==1.1.0
numpy==1.19.1
pytz==2020.1
python-dateutil==2.8.1
