Practices	https://dev.to/aws-builders/aws-lambda-cookbook-part-6-configuration-feature-flags-best-practices-54li	AWS Lambda Cookbook ーPart ーConfiguration amp Feature Flags Best PracticesWhat makes an AWS Lambda handler resilient traceable and easy to maintain How do you write such a code In this blog series I ll attempt to answer these questions by sharing my knowledge and AWS Lambda best practices so you won t make the mistakes I once did This blog series progressively introduces best practices and utilities by adding one utility at a time Part focused on Logging Part focused on Observability monitoring and tracing Part focused on Business Domain Observability Part focused on Environment Variables Part focused on Input Validation Part focused on how to start your own Serverless service in two clicks Part focused on AWS CDK Best Practices This blog focuses on feature flags and configuration best practices I ll provide a working open source AWS Lambda handler template Python project This handler embodies Serverless best practices and has all the bells and whistles for a proper production ready handler During this blog series I ll cover logging observability input validation features flags dynamic configuration and how to use environment variables safely While the code examples are written in Python the principles are valid for all programming languages supported by AWS Lambda functions You can find all examples at this GitHub repository including CDK deployment code This blog post was originally published on my website “Ran The Builder TL DR VideoThis blog post is also available as a conference talk in the video below Watch the video AWS Lambda Function ConfigurationAn AWS Lambda function configuration is usually a key value pair of parameters accessed during the runtime affecting its logic flow These parameters vary from general settings list of supported regions service URLs etc to complex feature flags definitions enable disable code features During my work on AWS Lambda functions I realized that I needed a quick and straightforward method to change my AWS Lambda function s behavior without changing its code Changing the AWS Lambda function configuration seemed like the right approach as it could alter the output or side effects of the AWS Lambda function However how do you do that quickly How do you store the different kinds of configurations How can you access them efficiently and safely This blog will explain the best practices for storing AWS Lambda configuration and feature flags and provide a fully working Python solution Smart feature flags are feature flags that are evaluated in runtime and can change their values according to session context The Python solution is based on an SDK I developed and donated to the excellent AWS Lambda Powertools GitHub repository There are numerous options for storing AWS Lambda function configuration Let s assume that we have mapped our configuration to a JSON configuration format that we wish to use in our AWS Lambda handler Here are the most common options for storing such configuration Environment variables Bundle the JSON configuration file with the function AWS SSM Parameters store AWS Secrets ManagerAWS DynamoDB table AWS AppConfig configuration We can split these options into two categories static and dynamic configurations By understanding the difference between them and defining each option s use case you can choose the storage solution that fits your requirements Hint it will probably be a mixture of static and dynamic configurations Static VS Dynamic ConfigurationsStatic configurations do not change during the function s runtime thus they are static Static configurations include environment variables or a JSON configuration file bundled with the handler These configurations are deployed with the function and cannot be altered unless the function is redeployed On the other hand dynamic configurations can be altered outside the AWS Lambda function scope and change the function s behavior during runtime Dynamic configuration are stored on AWS SSM parameters store an AWS DynamoDB table or an AWS AppConfig configuration there can be other options too but these are the most common Dynamic configurations are more complex as they require a dedicated CI CD pipeline separate from the AWS Lambda function CI CD pipeline This separation is critical the different pipeline decouples the AWS Lambda function from its configuration and allows to update the configuration without redeploying the AWS Lambda function pipeline Building and maintaining more CI CD pipelines increases complexity but it s worth it These pipelines are fast by design as they have no logic other than uploading a JSON configuration file to an AWS service and require fewer tests than a fully fledged AWS Lambda based service In a production crisis one can quickly revert an incorrect configuration or disable a problematic feature flag instead of redeploying the AWS Lambda function with an updated static configuration while waiting for a very long service CI CD pipeline to finish TL DR Dynamic configurations require a separate fast CI CD pipeline which enables quick reaction time to problems at the expense of the extra CI CD pipeline maintenance What Configuration Storage Option Should You Use Each configuration type has its place Use static configuration for configurations that don t change rapidly and don t require quick changes in production environments Be advised that environment variables have a maximum size limit due to OS restrictions If you reach the limit move the configurations to either a static settings file bundled with the AWS Lambda code or store them as a dynamic configuration You can read more about environment variables and best practices in my blog here A configuration that you expect to change or want to have the ability to change quickly should be saved as a dynamic configuration In addition feature flags by their nature are meant to be stored as dynamic configurations Since we covered static configuration as environment variables in a previous blog let s focus on dynamic configuration and review the requirements for a dynamic configuration utility SDK and choose the best storage option for the dynamic configurations Dynamic Configuration Utility User ExperienceWhen I designed the utility presented in this blog post I wanted to support dynamic configurations and smart feature flags What are Smart Feature Flags Smart feature flags require evaluation in runtime and can have different values for different AWS Lambda function sessions Imagine pushing a new feature into production but enabling it only for specific customers A smart feature flag will need to evaluate the customer name and decide whether the final value is True False according to a set of predefined rules and conditions Smart feature flags are defined by rules conditions and actions determining the final value We will discuss this in detail further down below The RequirementsUse JSON file to describe both configuration values and smart feature flags Provide one simple API to get configuration anywhere in the AWS Lambda function code Provide one simple API to evaluate smart feature flags values During runtime store the configuration in a local cache with a configurable TTL to reduce API calls to AWS to fetch the JSON configuration and total cost Built in support for Pydantic models We ve used Pydantic to serialize and validate JSON configuration input validation and environment variables throughout this blog series so it makes sense to use it to parse dynamic configuration Now that we understand the requirements and the value of having a dynamic configuration in AWS Lambda functions let s discuss the where Where do we store the dynamic JSON configuration AWS AppConfig ーThe Ultimate Dynamic Configuration Storage ServiceLet s recall our storage options By eliminating the static only options we are left with AWS SSM Parameter store AWS Secrets ServiceAWS DynamoDBAWS AppConfigI believe that AWS AppConfig in the ultimate dynamic configuration storage service for AWS Lambda functions Let me explain why AWS AppConfig is a self managed service that stores plain TEXT YAML JSON configuration to be consumed by multiple clients We will use it in the context of dynamic configuration and feature toggles and store a single JSON file that contains both feature flags and configuration values AWS AppConfig might be the apparent service to store AWS Lambda function configuration due to its name alone While researching the configuration specific capabilities of the service it becomes even clearer that AWS AppConfig is a better fit than both AWS DynamoDB and AWS SSM Parameter Let s review its advantages FedRAMP High certifiedFully ServerlessOut of the box support for schema validations that run before a configuration update Out of the box integration with AWS CloudWatch alarms triggers an automatic configuration revert if a configuration update fails your AWS Lambda functions Read more about it here You can define configuration deployment strategies Deployment strategies define how and when to change a configuration Read more about it here It provides a single API that provides configuration and feature flags access ーmore on that below AWS AppConfig provides integrations with other services such as Atlassian Jira and AWS CodeDeploy Click here for details AWS DynamoDB and AWS SSM have different advantages and use cases but they are not optimized for AWS Lambda configuration storage and JSON files You should use AWS SSM Parameter Store for secrets storage or AWS Secrets Manager for more advanced use cases auto rotation RDS integration etc but not for standard configuration It lacks all the configuration specific features described in lines You can store dynamic configurations on DynamoDB However it lacks all the configuration specific features described in lines Let s Deploy a JSON Configuration In the blog series GitHub template configuration deployment to AWS AppConfig is done via a CDK construct that takes care of the logic for you You need to create a separate pipeline for dynamic configuration and use the provided CDK construct You can read more about it here How Does AWS AppConfig Work AppConfig consists of configuration hierarchies Your CI CD pipeline will create an application that correlates to your AWS Lambda service name One application can contain multiple configurations for multiple AWS Lambdas or one configuration used by all AWS Lambda functions in the service the choice is yours Then it will create an environment An application has a list of environments dev stage production etc Each environment can have multiple configuration profiles Each profile defines the current version of a configuration its values in JSON YAML plain text format and the deployment strategy to use when deploying it Once the configuration is deployed it will look like this You can read more about deployment strategies here Fetching Configuration and Feature FlagsWe ll split this part into two fetching dynamic configuration and fetching feature flags AWS Lambda Powertools To The RescueI had the privilege of designing and donating a dynamic configuration utility to the AWS Lambda Powertools repository The utility is named feature flags but it fetches both feature flags and configurations alike The utility integrates with AWS AppConfig out of the box It provides an easy way to consume JSON configuration from AWS AppConfig and save it in a dedicated local cache The cache reduces total cost and improves performance since you pay per AWS AppConfig API call The cache also has a configurable TTL time to live Please note that the utility requires additional IAM permissions that allow appconfig GetLatestConfiguration and appconfig StartConfigurationSession Let s Fetch Dynamic ConfigurationLet s define our AWS Lambda handler dynamic configuration JSON file based on the AWS Lambda handler presented in the previous blogs the orders service A customer can purchase multiple quantities of an item as part of an order Each customer belongs to an origin country The handler handled order requests and was introduced in the previous blogs of the series Let s add the dynamic configuration The service supports order delivery to only a closed list of countries The list can be dynamically updated and countries can be either added or removed A potential JSON configuration looks like this Let s define the corresponding Pydantic schema Now let s define our SDK that uses the feature flags utility and add Pydantic JSON configuration parsing We will define two functions The first function get dynamic configuration store will be used to initialize and get the configuration utility singleton instance The second function parse configuration is used to fetch our JSON configuration without feature flags and parse it with the MyConfiguration schema model we have just defined Let s take a look at the code below In line we import the feature flags utility from AWS Lambda Powertools and rename the import to a more fitting name DynamicConfiguration because it provides access to both feature flags and configuration values In lines to we initialize the AWS AppConfig configuration store which serves as the configuration getter class In line we use the environment variables parser we implemented in part of the series and get the environment variables that the AWS AppConfig configuration store requires It requires several new environment variables AWS AppConfig configuration application name AWS AppConfig environment name AWS AppConfig configuration name to fetch Cache TTL in minutes max age in line I d use the default minutes In line we define the JSON dictionary key to store smart feature flag definitions We will use the key features Feature flags are optional and don t have to be part of the JSON file However we will define two flags later on In line we initialize the AWS Lambda Powertools feature flags utility In line we fetch the JSON file from AWS AppConfig and use the raw configuration i e the authentic JSON file that was uploaded In line we use Pydantic to parse the configuration according to the schema and catch any schema validation errors We return a dataclass instance once the validation is successful so we can access any configuration value easily Let s see this code in action in an AWS Lambda handler code This code snippet is a simplified version of the handler gradually introduced in previous blog posts In line we initialize the environment variables because the parse configuration function uses them in line In line we call parse configuration and provide our configuration schema class name This API can be used anywhere in the AWS Lambda function code After the first call the JSON file is saved in the cache for minutes and any call to parse configuration will not incur additional AWS AppConfig billing In line we print the configuration values and access it as a regular data class In lines we handle any dynamic configuration error that might occur AWS AppConfig connection error or the JSON file failing to fulfill our schema validation model Let s Define and Fetch Smart amp Regular Feature FlagsLet s assume that our AWS Lambda handler supports two feature flags Ten percent discount for the current order True False Premium feature for the customer True False A ten percent discount is a regular feature flag According to store policy a ten percent discount can be turned on or off It doesn t change according to session input it is True or False for all inputs On the other hand premium features are enabled only to specific customers Premium features feature flag is based on a rule It s a smart feature flag The feature flags value is False for all but very specific customers To use AWS Lambda Powertools feature flags capabilities we need to build a JSON file that matches the SDK language You can read more about it here Non Smart Regular Feature Flags DefinitionDefining the ten percent discount flag is simple It has a key and a dictionary containing a default value key with a boolean value Let s assume the feature flag is enabled Let s add it to the current configuration we already have Smart Feature Flags JSON DefinitionNow let s add the smart feature flag premium features We want to enable it only for customers by RanTheBuilder The JSON structure is simple Each feature has a default value under the default key It can any valid JSON value boolean int etc Each feature can have optional rules that determine the evaluated value Each rule consists of a default value to return in case of a match ーw hen match and a list of conditions Only one rule can match Each condition consists of an action name which is mapped to an operator in the rule engine code and a key value pair that serves as an argument to the SDK rule engine Our configuration JSON file now contains feature flags smart and non smart and general configuration Features flags are defined only inside the root features key In this example the rule is matched which returns a True value for the flag when the context dictionary has a key customer name with a value of RanTheBuilder EQUALS RanTheBuilder There are many supported actions for conditions such as STARTSWITH ENDSWITH EQUALS etc You can read more about the rules conditions logic and supported actions here Putting It All TogetherWe will define the feature flags names in an enum so they can be fetched by enum values instead of hardcoded “magic strings The updated configuration schema Python file will now look like this Let s redefine our AWS Lambda handler dynamic configuration JSON file and add both feature flags evaluating calls We will put both feature s flags definition under the features key in the JSON file which matches the envelope variable in the AppConfig store we defined in line of the dynamic configuration SDK file In line we fetch the configuration from AWS AppConfig and save it as a whole in the cache In line we evaluate the non smart configuration value Since it is non smart it has no session context the dictionary context is empty The default value is False if the feature flag definition has been removed accidentally from the JSON file in AWS AppConfig In the current configuration line will print True value In line we evaluate the smart feature flag We pass the customer name as part of the context dictionary In this case the rule will match and the feature evaluates True However if the customer name were different the rule would not have matches and the feature would evaluate to False	2023-05-16 18:28:21
