fastText Lambda

A purpose-built Docker container to compile and bundle fastText for use with AWS Lambda.

QuickStart

docker login ...
docker pull

docker run -v "$(pwd):/src/" fasttext-lambda:latest

When executed, the container will generate a zip file containing a new lambda layer.The archive will be stored locally in ./dist/layers.

Description

This container leverages amazonlinux:2 as its base, allowing fastText can be compiled in a similar environment to AWS Lambda. Without this, fastText will fail to resolve linked libraries and dependencies. As an output, this container produces a pre-packaged lambda layer ready to upload.

Supported Runtimes

At this time only the python3.8 runtime is supported.

Building the container

To build the container, clone this repository and build the container.

docker build -t fasttext-lambda .

Versioning
