Serverless redash

[teambob]

It would be good to have a serverless version of redash which runs on AWS Lambda or GCP Cloud Functions, so there is no need to patch a server and have a server running 24/7

There's no real chance of that happening, perhaps ever.

The architecture of Redash doesn't work in a way that would fit with that, and doesn't really seem like the kind of thing where it could.

I wonder if this might actually be possible. Redash does allow multiple instances no? assuming you host postgres and redis separately. Would it be theoretically possible to use AWS Lambda Adapter to serve traffic to people in a Redash lambda and a small instance to run cron jobs?

Hmmm, thinking that through... you might be able to get something basic working, then build it out from there. Interesting... 😄

Hi, I'm also curious about a serverless deployment option. I'm a big fan of putting flask services on lambda (using awsgi) storing states in redis. I've been deploying dash apps like this for a few years now. So I would think that postgres, redis and server should be fine, but what about the worker? How do the server and worker communicate? Does the worker require long running processes?

AWS EventBridge can be used to initiate scheduled tasks
