v1.10.0

Changes

This release adds a number of new features to Logger, Tracer, Validator, and Parameters, a new Lambda Layer with extra packages installed (e.g. parser), and documentation fixes.

Detailed information about these features are at the bottom.

For the next release (1.11.0), we'll be focusing on a new Idempotency utility, import time performance improvements for those not using Tracer utility, and possibly a new Circuit Breaker utility.

Details

Logger

Extra parameter

Logger now supports extra parameter in the standard logging when logging new messages. You can pass in any dictionary to this new parameter, and its keys and values will be available within the root of the structure - This is ephemeral and keys do not persist with its counterpart structure_logs(append=True, ...) method.

Excerpt

from aws_lambda_powertools import Logger

logger = Logger(service="payment")

fields = { "request_id": "1123" }

logger.info("Hello", extra=fields)

Log sample

{
   "timestamp": "2021-01-12 14:08:12,357",
   "level": "INFO",
   "location": "collect.handler:1",
   "service": "payment",
   "sampling_rate": 0.0,
   "request_id": "1123", // highlight-line
   "message": "Collecting payment"
}

Pytest Live Log support

Pytest Live Log support will output logging records as they are emitted directly into the console with colours.

Since Logger drops duplicate log records as of 1.7.0, you can now explicitly override this protection when running tests locally to make use of Pytest Live Log:

POWERTOOLS_LOG_DEDUPLICATION_DISABLED="1" pytest -o log_cli=1

Tracer

Override auto-capture response and exception

When using Tracer decorators, capture_method or capture_lambda_handler, we auto-capture its responses and exceptions, serialize them and inject as tracing metadata to ease troubleshooting.

There are times when serializing objects can cause side effects, for example reading S3 streaming objects if not read before. You can now override this behaviour either by parameter or via env var: POWERTOOLS_TRACER_CAPTURE_RESPONSE, POWERTOOLS_TRACER_CAPTURE_ERROR

Parameters

AppConfig support

You can now retrieve and cache configuration stored in AppConfig natively - Thanks to Ran from CyberArk.

from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters

def handler(event, context):
    # Retrieve a single configuration, latest version
    value: bytes = parameters.get_app_config(name="my_configuration", environment="my_env", application="my_app")

Validator

Custom formats

You can now use formats parameter to instruct Validator utility how to deal with any custom integer or string - Thanks to @n2N8Z

Custom format snippet in a JSON Schema

{
	"lastModifiedTime": {
	  "format": "int64",
	  "type": "integer"
	}
}

Excerpt ignoring int64 and a positive format instead of failing

from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.validation import validate

event = {} # some event
schema_with_custom_format = {} # some JSON schema that defines a custom format

custom_format = {
    "int64": True, # simply ignore it,
	"positive": lambda x: False if x < 0 else True
}

validate(event=event, schema=schema_with_custom_format, formats=custom_format)
