aws-sam-cli | CLI tool to build , test , debug , and deploy Serverless | REST library

I have created a Lambda function using AWS SAM CLI which is deployed as a container image. Problem is the requirements are downloaded every time I make a small change in the code(app.py) and run sam build. The reason can be undestood from the Dockerfile below.

Dockerfile

I am trying to make an application using python and gRPC as shown in this article - link

I am able to run the app successfully on my terminal but to run with a frontend I need to run it as a flask app, codebase. And I am doing all this in a virtual environment.

when I run my flask command FLASK_APP=marketplace.py flask run

This is the error I get

I'm trying to set up CI/CD for an AWS Lambda using the SAM cli tool inside a Gitlab runner.

My Lambda function is a Go app shipped as a container image.

I followed this article to set it up properly: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/using-gitlab-ci-cd-pipeline-to-deploy-aws-sam-applications/

Unfortunately, the used .gitlab-ci.yml seems to be only applicable to functions of PackageType Zip, i.e. by uploading the application code to an S3 bucket:

Currently I'm using a dind configuration in gitlab
This dind works for me to deploy a dockerized lambda function through SAM.

This is my before script

I have been getting the following error in my CodeBuild execution: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cfn_tools'

Interesting note, the first time I ran this through CodeBuild with this module I had no issues. It only started happening after I made my next gitHub push that kicked off my pipeline that I saw this. The files that are related to this didn't change, and the modifications in that next push were to an unrelated section of the repo.

I have since tried to do:

• pip install cfn-tools & pip3 install cfn-tools which mentioned that the module was already installed. These were added to the BuildSpec section. No success - still got the error
• I've added a requirements.txt file with no success still got the error. I created this file using pip freeze also within the BuildSpec. The module shows up, but still get the error.
• Originally used runtime version 3.7 of python and then tried with 3.9 which still didn't work.

python runtime 3.9 Any assistance would be appreciated.

UPDATE: To add more information I download a .tar.gz file from S3 that contains the python scripts I need for running in this build. I extract the .tar.gz then I run the script that is having the error. Here is the output for when I install cfn-tools and do a pip freeze You will see below that cfn-tools loads and is part of the output of pip freeze but yet when I run my script it give me the above error.

Just getting started with AWS SAM. Wanted to create a CRUD micro service using Lambda and DynamoDB My template.yaml:

Today I updated to AWS SAM CLI version 1.33.0. Then it started crashing making issues during the deployment. When I run the command sam deploy or sam deploy --guided, it throws the following error

I have a AWS Lambda function that I am attempting to step-through debug with VSCode. I am running into an issue where the behaviour of the debugger and VSCode does not make sense, claiming it cannot resolve non-existent files from paths that it should not be looking for these packages at.

The lambda function has been tested locally using the aws-sam-cli's sam build and sam local invoke functionality. The lambda correctly takes a JSON event with -e, and returns the expected response. This has been tested with the following setup for its SAM template:

I am trying to split my stack into nested stack because i hit the AWS Max stack resource limit. I am building a REST API. I want to use a one API Gateway for all the stacks. Below is my code.
