Create Django Restapi with Aws Lambda

AWS Lambda supports several programming languages including Python, but running a Django application on Lambda would require some additional work and configuration. Here’s an overview of how you can create a Django RESTful API using AWS Lambda:

1. Create a new Django project and app by running the following commands:

django-admin startproject myproject
cd myproject
python manage.py startapp myapp

2. Create a new virtual environment, and activate it by running the following commands:

python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate

3. Install the necessary packages, such as Django and Django REST framework:

pip install django djangorestframework

4. Add your app to INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file and configure your database settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'myapp',
    'rest_framework'
]

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE

Create Django RestAPI Upload File with AWS Lambda

Here’s an overview of how you can create a Django RESTful API that allows file uploads using AWS Lambda:

1. Start by creating a new Django project and app by running the following commands:

django-admin startproject myproject
cd myproject
python manage.py startapp myapp

2. Create a new virtual environment and activate it, and install the necessary packages, such as Django, Django REST framework, and boto3 (the AWS SDK for Python):

python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install django djangorestframework boto3

3. In your models.py add a model for the files.

class File(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField(upload_to='uploads/')
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

4. In your views.py, create a view to handle the file upload and use the boto3 library to upload the file to S3.

from django.shortcuts import render
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from .models import File
import boto3

class FileUploadView(APIV

Create Django RestAPI Download File with AWS Lambda

Here’s an overview of how you can create a Django RESTful API that allows file downloads using AWS Lambda:

1. Start by creating a new Django project and app by running the following commands:

django-admin startproject myproject
cd myproject
python manage.py startapp myapp

2. Create a new virtual environment and activate it, and install the necessary packages, such as Django, Django REST framework, and boto3 (the AWS SDK for Python):

python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install django djangorestframework boto3

3. In your views.py, create a view to handle the file download and use the boto3 library to download the file from S3.

from django.shortcuts import render
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
import boto3

class FileDownloadView(APIView):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Connect to S3 and download the requested file
        s3 = boto3.client('s3')
        file_key = 'path/to/your/file.ext'
        file_data = s3.get
