I would like to use the output from a lambda function that generates a bokeh html file for a webapp. I believe that outputs are stored in the /tmp file, but given that lambda is totally stateless I do not believe it is possible to retrieve from lambda following execution. Is there a workaround for the usual bokeh syntax: 

output_file('foo.html')

so that the .html is sent somewhere (preferably an S3 bucket)?

If this is a generally poor way to go about the task of generating a bokeh plot and getting the html, I'm open to hearing a better way. Also, if anyone has a link to a repo with bokeh source files that work on the AWS linus AMI, that would be appreciated...

  • A quick look at the bokah.io api doc makes it appear as there being little choice but to deal with local filesystem IO. In general, a bad idea for AWS Lambda. Ideally the output can be held in memory and placed on S3. But it appears Bokeh is a geared toward interactive use.

  • Thanks, Rich. I ultimately decided against Bokeh for this reason, as well as the difficulty I was having getting dependencies that run on amazon linux AMI. – Anonymous Juan Mar 18 '19 at 21:06
