  Creating a AWS Lambda Function URL using Terraform

This blog post will demonstrate how to create an HTTPS Lambda endpoint using Function URLs, Python and Terraform, an open-source infrastructure as code tool. If you’d rather not use Terraform, Function URLs can be created directly via the AWS user interface (UI). You can follow the official AWS guide here. You can use any compatible programming language with AWS Lambda for this demonstration since the principles are the same. You can view the project's source code on Github.

  The AWS Provider enables Terraform to manage AWS resources.

  

First, create the required Terraform deployment file main.tf at the top level of your Python project. Declare 1.0.0 as the Terraform version and 4.9.0 as the Hashicorp AWS provider version since that's when Function URLs functionality was implemented. You can review the merge request here. Next, declare the AWS region, for example eu-west-1 . Once declared main.tf should look like this:

  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

Test the public endpoint by either opening the URL in a browser or using an API testing tool such as httpie. The below example uses Terraform to retrieve the generated Function URL via terraform output and a GET request is submitted to the URL via httpie.
