Streamline Your AWS Lambda Function with ONNX Models in Layers

AWS Lambda is a powerful serverless computing service that lets you run your code without provisioning or managing servers. However, one common challenge developers face is efficiently managing model files, particularly in scenarios involving machine learning models like those defined in ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) format. This post will guide you through how to put your ONNX models in AWS Lambda layers, reducing the latency typically associated with downloading models from S3 during the function execution.

The Challenge: Downloading ONNX Models from S3

When executing your AWS Lambda function, you may be using code similar to the following to download your ONNX models from Amazon S3:

While this approach works, it can introduce latency due to the need to download the model every time the function executes. This latency can become an issue, especially in performance-sensitive applications.

The Solution: Store ONNX Models in AWS Lambda Layers

To minimize latency, you can store your ONNX model directly in AWS Lambda layers. This method will allow your function to access the model instantly, improving performance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using AWS Lambda Layers

Here’s how to properly set up your ONNX model in AWS Lambda layers:

Create a ZIP File: Ensure that your ONNX model is structured correctly in a ZIP file. The contents of your ZIP file should look like this:

Alternatively, if you do not want it to be nested under the python folder, you can simply have model.onnx directly in the root of the ZIP file.

Upload the Layer: Use the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI to create and upload your Lambda layer with the ZIP file you just created.

Modify Your Lambda Function: Update your Lambda function code to point to the correct path of the ONNX model. If your model is located in the python directory within the layer, your code should look like this:

If you chose to place your model directly in the root of the ZIP file, then your code will simply look like this:

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

File Not Found Error (File doesn't exist): If you encounter a file not found error, double-check the structure of your ZIP file. Ensure that your ONNX model is located in the correct directory expected by your code.

Layer Configuration: Make sure your Lambda function’s execution role has the necessary permissions to access the layer you created.

Conclusion

Storing your ONNX models in AWS Lambda layers can significantly enhance performance by reducing latency associated with model downloads. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily integrate your machine learning models in your serverless applications. This change not only streamlines your code but also enhances the user experience by improving response times.

By utilizing AWS Lambda layers effectively, you can focus on building and deploying efficient, scalable serverless applications without the burden of managing model files in S3.
