Kanarya is canary in Turkish.

kanarya is a Go module that takes care of canary deployments in AWS Lambda. This module acts as a wrapper on top of AWS Go SDK and makes easier to implement canary deployments in your lambda projects. kanarya can be used locally in your Go projects, can be implemented as a CLI tool, or can be used on CI, depending on your needs.

Install

go get github.com/msdundar/kanarya@latest

kanarya uses Go Modules to manage dependencies, and supports Go versions >=1.14.x.

Usage

Credentials

kanarya relies on AWS Shared Configuration. You need to set your credentials before using the package.

  • Set AWS_REGION environment variable to the default region.
  • Either set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - or define your credentials in ~/.aws/credentials file.

For more details follow official AWS Guidelines.

Implementation

Create S3 and Lambda instances to use in AWS operations:

s3Client     := kanarya.S3Client("AWS_REGION_TO_DEPLOY")
lambdaClient := kanarya.LambdaClient("AWS_REGION_TO_DEPLOY")

Create a deployment package by using kanarya.LambdaPackage struct:

lambdaPackage := kanarya.LambdaPackage{
  Location: "file/path/for/lambda/package/index.zip",
  Function: kanarya.LambdaFunction{
    Name: "YOUR_LAMBDA_NAME",
  },
  Bucket: kanarya.LambdaBucket{
    Name: "YOUR_BUCKET_NAME",
    Key:  "upload/folder/in/s3bucket/index.zip",
  },
  Alias: kanarya.LambdaAlias{
    Name: "YOUR_LAMBDA_ALIAS", // alias used by clients
  },
}

Upload deployment package to S3:

_, err := kanarya.UploadToS3(s3Client, lambdaPackage)

Update function code located in $LATEST:

_, err := kanarya.UpdateFunctionCode(lambdaClient, lambdaPackage)

Publish a new version for shifting traffic later:

resp, err := kanarya.PublishNewVersion(lambdaClient, lambdaPackage)
newVersion := resp.Version

Create a JSON payload to use in health check requests:

request := yourRequestStruct{Something: "some value"}
payload, err := json.Marshal(request)

Adjust this JSON according to the request-body expectations of your lambda.

Start gradual deployment:

oldVersion, err := kanarya.GradualRollOut(
  lambdaClient,
  lambdaPackage,
  newVersion,
  0.1000000, // roll out rate in each step. 0.1 equals to 10%.
  10, // number of health checks you would like to run on each step.
  60, // number of seconds to sleep on each step.
  payload,
)

If there are errors during the gradual rollout, auto-rollback to the previous healthy version:

if err != nil {
  kanarya.FullRollOut(lambdaClient, lambdaPackage, oldVersion)
  os.Exit(1)
}

If gradual rollout is successful, then fully roll out the new version:

_, err := kanarya.FullRollOut(lambdaClient, lambdaPackage, newVersion)

And that's it! You can combine the example above for cross-regional deployments, by updating the s3Client or lambdaClient on the fly with a new region.

Development

Local testing

  • Test environment can be set up with Terraform and Docker Compose. Configuration for each can be found in the repository.
  • First, run docker-compose up to start localstack.
  • Then run terraform init & terraform apply to create resources locally on localstack.
  • Finally, run go test to run unit tests.

Linter

  • golangci-lint is integrated in the CI. Run golangci-lint run locally to make sure no linting issues exist.
