from chalice import Chalice
import threading
import time
from datetime import datetime


app = Chalice(app_name='multithread-test')
app.debug = True


def run_thread(msg):
    app.log.debug(f"Call {msg} and sleep, timestamp {datetime.now()}")
    time.sleep(5)


@app.lambda_function(name='multithread-test')
def handler(event, context):
    thread_list = list()
    for i in range(0, 5):
        msg = f'thread-{i}'
        thread = threading.Thread(target=run_thread, args=(msg,))

  • Deploy function
⚑ $ chalice deploy 
Creating deployment package.
Creating IAM role: multithread-test-dev
Creating lambda function: multithread-test-dev-multithread-test
Resources deployed:
  - Lambda ARN: arn:aws:lambda:ap-northeast-2:1111111111111:function:multithread-test-dev-multithread-test
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

πŸš€ Run test

  • Invoke lambda function using aws-cli
⚑ $ aws lambda invoke --function-name multithread-test-dev-multithread-test --region ap-northeast-2 outfile 
{
    "StatusCode": 200,
