cloudyr
packages. However, they did not (and still do not) provide all the functionality needed to set up all the AWS services (not only S3)Thus, I made the decision not to make the R code dependent on any cloudyr
packages (although I use them heavily in other projects). This has the additional advantage that keeps the number of libraries loaded by R at a minimum, leaving more space in the deployment package (zip
) for R packages and files provided by the user.
Yes, you have a point there with the size of the deployment package.
I assume that the R script in the Lambda has access to the AWS OS it's running on so theoretically it could use for example Clodyr's R library aws.s3 and fetch files from s3.
Then you don't have to pass it thru Python and also you avoid rewriting your existing R code base. Or am I missing something? Is this not possible?
