## Overview
This PR reorganizes and enhances the streaming Lambda examples by
splitting them into two distinct examples that demonstrate different
invocation methods:
1. **Streaming+FunctionUrl** - Streaming responses via Lambda Function
URLs
2. **Streaming+APIGateway** - Streaming responses via API Gateway REST
API
## Changes
### 🔄 Restructured Examples
- **Renamed**: `Examples/Streaming/` → `Examples/Streaming+FunctionUrl/`
- Maintains the original streaming example using Lambda Function URLs
- Updated documentation to clarify Function URL-specific configuration
- Improved AWS credentials handling in curl examples
- **New**: `Examples/Streaming+APIGateway/`
- Comprehensive example demonstrating API Gateway REST API with response
streaming
- Complete SAM template with proper IAM roles and streaming
configuration
- Detailed documentation covering API Gateway-specific setup
### 📚 Documentation Improvements
#### Streaming+FunctionUrl
- Clarified that this example uses Lambda Function URLs
- Updated curl examples to use `eval $(aws configure export-credentials
--format env)` for cleaner credential handling
- Maintained all existing functionality and deployment instructions
#### Streaming+APIGateway (New)
- **316-line comprehensive README** covering:
- Response streaming concepts and benefits
- HTTP status code and header configuration
- Streaming response body patterns
- Local testing instructions
- Complete SAM deployment guide with detailed template explanation
- API Gateway-specific invocation with AWS Sigv4 authentication
- Payload format documentation with example JSON
- Security and reliability best practices
- How API Gateway streaming works under the hood
### 🛠️ Technical Details
#### API Gateway Streaming Configuration
The new example demonstrates:
- Special Lambda URI: `/response-streaming-invocations` endpoint
- `responseTransferMode: STREAM` configuration
- IAM role with both `lambda:InvokeFunction` and
`lambda:InvokeWithResponseStream` permissions
- Proper timeout configuration (60s) to accommodate streaming duration
#### SAM Template Features
```yaml
- Lambda function with streaming support (arm64, provided.al2)
- API Gateway REST API with OpenAPI 3.0 definition
- IAM execution role for API Gateway to invoke Lambda with streaming
- Complete outputs for easy testing (API URL and Lambda ARN)
```
### 🔐 Security Enhancements
Both examples now include comprehensive security best practices:
- API Gateway access logging
- Throttling configuration
- AWS WAF integration recommendations
- Lambda concurrent execution limits
- Environment variable encryption
- Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) configuration
- VPC configuration guidance
### 🧪 Testing
Both examples support:
- **Local testing**: `swift run` with curl invocation on port 7000
- **AWS deployment**: Complete SAM templates with deployment
instructions
- **Authenticated invocation**: AWS Sigv4 examples with proper
credential handling
## Benefits
1. **Clearer separation**: Developers can now easily choose between
Function URLs and API Gateway based on their use case
2. **Better documentation**: Each example has tailored documentation for
its specific invocation method
3. **Production-ready**: Includes security best practices and proper IAM
configuration
4. **Easier testing**: Improved credential handling in curl examples
## Breaking Changes
None - this is purely additive. The original streaming example is
preserved as `Streaming+FunctionUrl`.
## Testing Checklist
- [x] Local testing works for both examples
- [x] SAM deployment templates are valid
- [x] Documentation is comprehensive and accurate
- [x] Security best practices are documented
- [x] Curl examples work with proper authentication

See issue #536
All the examples are now depending on the runtime library located at
`../..`. The `Package.swift` files contain a commented line with the
`.package` to use when user wants to fetch the runtime from GitHub.

In preparation for the 2.0.0 GA release,
- Update `.swift-version`, `Package.swift` and all examples'
`package.swift` to Swift 6.2
- Update all references to `2.0.0-beta.3` to `2.0.0`. This includes the
doc and readme, but also the dependencies in the examples
`Package.swift`. This will temporary break the build of the examples,
until we tag v2.0.0. Note the CI will not be affected as its consumes
the local version of the library
- [CI] Use Swift-6.2-noble for all testing tasks
- Reinstate the script to generate the contributors list and update the
list
Revert streaming codable handler change and propose it as an example
instead of an handler API.
**Motivation:**
I made a mistake when submitting this PR
https://github.com/swift-server/swift-aws-lambda-runtime/pull/532
It provides a Streaming+Codable handler that conveniently allows
developers to write handlers with `Codable` events for streaming
functions.
This is a mistake for three reasons:
- This is the only handler that assumes a Lamba Event structure as
input. I added a minimal `FunctionUrlRequest` and `FunctionURLResponse`
to avoid importing the AWS Lambda Events library. It is the first
handler to be event-specific. I don't think the runtime should introduce
event specific code.
- The handler only works when Lambda functions are exposed through
Function URLs. Streaming functions can also be invoke by API or CLI.
- The handler hides `FunctionURLRequest` details (HTTP headers, query
parameters, etc.) from developers
Developers were unaware they were trading flexibility for convenience
The lack of clear documentation about these limitations led to incorrect
usage patterns and frustrated developers who needed full request control
or were using other invocation methods.
**Modifications:**
- Removed the Streaming+Codable API from the library
- Moved the Streaming+Codable code to an example
- Added prominent warning section in the example README explaining the
limitations
- Clarified when to use Streaming+Codable vs ByteBuffer approaches
- Added decision rule framework to help developers choose the right
approach
**Result:**
The only API provided by the library to use Streaming Lambda functions
is exposing the raw `ByteBuffer` as input, there is no more `Codable`
handler for Streaming functions available in the API. I kept the
`Streaming+Codable` code an example.
After this change, developers have clear guidance on when to use each
streaming approach:
- Use streaming codable for Function URL + JSON payload + no request
details needed
- Use ByteBuffer StreamingLambdaHandler for full control, other
invocation methods, or request metadata access
This prevents misuse of the API and sets proper expectations about the
handler's capabilities and limitations, leading to better developer
experience and fewer integration issues.
