chalice-transmogrify

chalice-transmogrify is a service that transforms XML/RSS to JSON and is designed to run on AWS Lambda.

It's built on the chalice Serverless Microframework for Python.

Getting Started

Set up your environment

• git clone https://github.com/uncompiled/chalice-transmogrify.git
• cd chalice-transmogrify
• pipenv install (recommended)

Configure AWS Credentials

chalice is specifically designed to work on AWS Lambda, so you will need an AWS account to use it.

If you have previously configured your machine to use boto3 (the AWS SDK for Python) or the AWS CLI, then you can skip this section.

Otherwise, you'll need to configure your AWS credentials.

Deploy to AWS Lambda

• pipenv run chalice deploy

Endpoints
