titiler VS mangum

There's a lot to like about GDAL+Rasterio, although I've found having all HTTP requests go through GDAL's C API does result in some limitations on concurrency and multithreading. GDAL's configuration being based entirely on env vars also has its downsides: https://github.com/developmentseed/titiler/issues/186

TiMVT and TiFeatures, along with TiTiler for raster services, complete a trio of python-FastAPI services. The current roadmap includes merging TiFeatures & TiMVT, the vector-based services, into a single project to reduce code redundancy.

COGs are great, but from my experience micro services like titiler don't support complex styling logic. Is there a possibility to create a serverless WMS service with complex styling requirements?

Consider something like titiler if you want to serve the pile of geotiffs out to the web.

We were able to host 10gb six band rasters as well as 2cm RGB split into 100m tiles on S3 using COGS, mosaic.json and the TiTiler project which is powered by AWS lambda functions

Hey! I was in the same place as you are, and the best solution I found was to use Mangum (https://mangum.io/). I believe it also works with Django. Mangum is an adapter that transforms lambda events into the corresponding structure to be received by your Framework API endpoints. We are currently using it with FastAPI and it's great. We code our backend without thinking about whether it will run on Lambda, and Magum takes care of the rest.

In the real world I'm never using static cloud resources. It's all serverless, containers, or horizontal auto-scaling. I let the infrastructure handle asynchronous scaling when needed. For FastAPI specifically I've used Mangum: https://mangum.io/ to provide the asynchronous invocation below the ASGI layer. Then all my FastAPI code can just be synchronous.

I discovered https://github.com/jordaneremieff/mangum which basically transforms a fastapi app to be compatible with aws lambda.

Should I create only 1 apigtw resource with 1 lambda and use mangum + fastapi for my rest api ?

If you go the lambda route, you can use DRF (or any ASGI app) using https://mangum.io/

Yes, it's possible to wrap any asgi app to run in a lambda. Check out Mangum https://github.com/jordaneremieff/mangum

But we do not have a handler function, do we? We have a Mangum object wrapping the FastAPI application. Luckily, the Mangum object acts as a handler function, so we can just add the following in example/src/app/__init__.py:

I've used fastapi in a lambda. The package Mangum simplifies the conversion of lambda handler to a more tradition request.
