Middleware factory

Middleware factory provides a decorator factory to create your own middleware to run logic before, and after each Lambda invocation synchronously.

Key features

  • Run logic before, after, and handle exceptions
  • Built-in tracing opt-in capability

Getting started

Tip

All examples shared in this documentation are available within the project repository.

You might need a custom middleware to abstract non-functional code. These are often custom authorization or any reusable logic you might need to run before/after a Lambda function invocation.

Middleware with no params

You can create your own middleware using lambda_handler_decorator. The decorator factory expects 3 arguments in your function signature:

  • handler - Lambda function handler
  • event - Lambda function invocation event
  • context - Lambda function context object

Environment variables

The following environment variable is available to configure the middleware factory at a global scope:

Setting Description Environment variable Default
Middleware Trace Creates sub-segment for each custom middleware. POWERTOOLS_TRACE_MIDDLEWARES false

You can also use POWERTOOLS_TRACE_MIDDLEWARES on a per-method basis, which will consequently override the environment variable value.

Advanced

For advanced use cases, you can instantiate Tracer inside your middleware, and add annotations as well as metadata for additional operational insights.

Middleware advanced Tracer

Tracing middleware execution

If you are making use of Tracer, you can trace the execution of your middleware to ease operations.

This makes use of an existing Tracer instance that you may have initialized anywhere in your code.

Warning

You must enable Active Tracing in your Lambda function when using this feature, otherwise Lambda cannot send traces to XRay.

Middleware simple Tracer

Combining Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) utilities

You can create your own middleware and combine many features of Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) such as trace, logs, feature flags, validation, jmespath_functions and others to abstract non-functional code.

In the example below, we create a Middleware with the following features:

  • Logs and traces
  • Validate if the payload contains a specific header
  • Extract specific keys from event
  • Automatically add security headers on every execution
  • Validate if a specific feature flag is enabled
  • Save execution history to a DynamoDB table

Tips

  • Use trace_execution to quickly understand the performance impact of your middlewares, and reduce or merge tasks when necessary
  • When nesting multiple middlewares, always return the handler with event and context, or response
  • Keep in mind Python decorators execution order. Lambda handler is actually called once (top-down)
  • Async middlewares are not supported
