​
Ibex DB Lambda

The ibex-db-lambda acts as a serverless database execution wrapper optimized specifically for AWS Lambda environments using Python and FastAPI.

​
Architectural Role

Unlike the persistent core microservices running behind Traefik, this service is designed for transient execution. It connects to the overarching data stack to retrieve configuration secrets and run specialized, isolated database operations.

​
High-Level Working

  • Execution Mode: It handles requests via standard HTTP methods (packaged via FastAPI) but is packaged specifically into a Lambda footprint (fastapi_app.py).
  • Performance Optimizations: Being a Lambda function, it contains logic tailored to minimize cold starts and efficiently manage memory, evident by its customized start scripts and detailed performance benchmark implementations internally.
  • Nested Data Handling: It implements explicit strategies for unnesting and managing highly structured or variable database schemas securely outside the primary, longer-running ibex-analytics-service.
