How to use this in aws lambda

[kishaningithub]

Given aws lambda does not have libpq installed. what is the recommended way to use this library to use this in aws lambda?

[dvarrazzo]

I assume the psycopg2-binary package works, doesn't it?

[kishaningithub]

Is that the recommended way? I did not try it because the disclaimer said don't use it it production, that's why I had this question too

[dvarrazzo]

The alternative of using psycopg2-binary is to install the libpq. If you choose to run your software on a platform you don't have control of it's not really a problem we can solve.

However the current binary packages, shipping OpenSSL 1.1.x, have proven stable enough and not as problematic as the versions used when that disclaimer warning was written. I think you can use it no problem.

@dvarrazzo Do you think about publishing ARM binary package? It can be interesting for AWS Lamda users (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-lambda-functions-powered-by-aws-graviton2-processor-run-your-functions-on-arm-and-get-up-to-34-better-price-performance/)

I think we do that already.
