Object Lambda
MinIO's Object Lambda implementation allows for transforming your data to serve unique data format requirements for each application. For example, a dataset created by an ecommerce application might include personally identifiable information (PII). When the same data is processed for analytics, PII should be redacted. However, if the same dataset is used for a marketing campaign, you might need to enrich the data with additional details, such as information from the customer loyalty database.
MinIO's Object Lambda, enables application developers to process data retrieved from MinIO before returning it to an application. You can register a Lambda Function target on MinIO, once successfully registered it can be used to transform the data for application GET requests on demand.
This document focuses on showing a working example on how to use Object Lambda with MinIO, you must have MinIO deployed in your environment before you can start using external lambda functions. You also must install Python version 3.8 or later for the lambda handlers to work.
Example Lambda handler
Install the necessary dependencies.
pip install flask requests
Following is an example lambda handler.
from flask import Flask, request, abort, make_response
import requests
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def get_webhook():
if request.method == 'POST':
# obtain the request event from the 'POST' call
event = request.json
object_context = event["getObjectContext"]
# Get the presigned URL to fetch the requested
# original object from MinIO
s3_url = object_context["inputS3Url"]
# Extract the route and request token from the input context
request_route = object_context["outputRoute"]
request_token = object_context["outputToken"]
# Get the original S3 object using the presigned URL
r = requests.get(s3_url)
original_object = r.content.decode('utf-8')
# Transform all text in the original object to uppercase
# You can replace it with your custom code based on your use case
transformed_object = original_object.upper()
# Write object back to S3 Object Lambda
# response sends the transformed data
# back to MinIO and then to the user
resp = make_response(transformed_object, 200)
resp.headers['x-amz-request-route'] = request_route
resp.headers['x-amz-request-token'] = request_token
return resp
else:
abort(400)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
When you're writing a Lambda function for use with MinIO, the function is based on event context that MinIO provides to the Lambda function. The event context provides information about the request being made. It contains the parameters with relevant context. The fields used to create the Lambda function are as follows:
The field of getObjectContext
means the input and output details for connections to MinIO. It has the following fields:
-
inputS3Url
– A presigned URL that the Lambda function can use to download the original object. By using a presigned URL, the Lambda function doesn't need to have MinIO credentials to retrieve the original object. This allows Lambda function to focus on transformation of the object instead of securing the credentials. -
outputRoute
– A routing token that is added to the response headers when the Lambda function returns the transformed object. This is used by MinIO to further verify the incoming response validity. -
outputToken
– A token added to the response headers when the Lambda function returns the transformed object. This is used by MinIO to verify the incoming response validity.
Lets start the lamdba handler.

Start MinIO with Lambda target
Register MinIO with a Lambda function, we are calling our target name as function
, but you may call it any other friendly name of your choice.

Object Lambda ARNs: arn:minio:s3-object-lambda::function:webhook
Lambda Target with Auth Token
If your lambda target expects an authorization token then you can enable it per function target as follows
MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_ENABLE_function=on MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_function=http://localhost:5000 MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_AUTH_TOKEN="mytoken" minio server /data &
Lambda Target with mTLS authentication
If your lambda target expects mTLS client you can enable it per function target as follows
MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_ENABLE_function=on MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_function=http://localhost:5000 MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_CERT=client.crt MINIO_LAMBDA_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_KEY=client.key minio server /data &
Create a bucket and upload some data
Create a bucket named functionbucket
mc alias set myminio/ http://localhost:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
mc mb myminio/functionbucket
Create a file testobject
with some test data that will be transformed
cat > testobject << EOF

EOF
Upload this object to the bucket via mc cp
mc cp testobject myminio/functionbucket/
Invoke Lambda transformation via PresignedGET
Following example shows how you can use minio-go
PresignedGetObject
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"net/url"
"time"
"fmt"
"github.com/minio/minio-go/v7"
"github.com/minio/minio-go/v7/pkg/credentials"
)
func main() {
s3Client, err := minio.New("localhost:9000", &minio.Options{
Creds: credentials.NewStaticV4("minioadmin", "minioadmin", ""),
Secure: false,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
// Set lambda function target via `lambdaArn`
reqParams := make(url.Values)
reqParams.Set("lambdaArn", "arn:minio:s3-object-lambda::function:webhook")
// Generate presigned GET url with lambda function
presignedURL, err := s3Client.PresignedGetObject(context.Background(), "functionbucket", "testobject", time.Duration(1000)*time.Second, reqParams)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
fmt.Println(presignedURL)
}
Use the Presigned URL via curl
to receive the transformed object.
curl -v $(go run presigned.go)
