+
+At [Superpedestrian](https://superpedestrian.com) we have really
+gotten into using AWS lambdas for ETL, batch processing, and other
+scheduled tasks, so I created
+[Lambada](https://lambada.readthedocs.io) as a nice framework for
+making collections of them inside a single repo with `build` time
+configuration via environment variables.
+
+Lambdas work great, are basically free, and have all sorts of great
+triggers.  There are even interesting Web frameworks like
+[Chalice](https://github.com/awslabs/chalice) coming out, but what it
+lacks, at least for Python, is a nice way to package, manage
+dependencies, and bunch them together since they tend to be small and
+bunches of them share code.  The nice part is that Rackspace already
+created a nice package and deployment system through
+[Lambda Uploader](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lambda-uploader), so
+all that was really left was for me to make a framework for grouping
+them together in a single repo/project along with a way to do security
+sensitive configuration at build time via environment variable
+injection or yaml file.
+
+Lambada lets you use decorators similar to
+[Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org), to have one project with multiple
+Lambda functions in that can all be tested, run, and uploaded with a
+command line interface. The
+[quick start guide](http://lambada.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#quickstart)
+has more details, but basically, you can make a file that looks like:
+
+```python
+from lambada import Lambada
+
+chart = Lambada(
+    handler='fouronthefloor.chart',
+    role='arn:aws:iam:xxxxxxx:role/lambda',
+    region='us-west-2',
+    timeout=60,
+    memory=128
+)
+
+@chart.dancer
+def test_lambada(event, context):
+    print('Event: {}'.format(event))
+
+
+@chart.dancer(
+    name='high_memory_test',
+    memory=1024,
+    requirements=['requirements.txt', 'xtra_requirements.txt']
+)
+def cool_oneoff(event, context):
+    print('Wow, so much memory! extra reqs!')
+
+
+@chart.dancer(memory=512, timeout=5)
+def bob_loblaw(event, _):
+    print('Such a great reference!')
+```
+
+and with a single `lambada upload` command create three lambdas in
+your AWS account with different requirements on time, memory, aws
+region, and even software dependencies.
