# Multi-Tenant Lambda Function Example

This example demonstrates how to build a multi-tenant Lambda function using Swift and AWS Lambda's tenant isolation mode. Tenant isolation ensures that execution environments are dedicated to specific tenants, providing strict isolation for processing tenant-specific code or data.

## Overview

This example implements a request tracking system that maintains separate counters and request histories for each tenant. The Lambda function:

- Accepts requests from multiple tenants via API Gateway
- Maintains isolated execution environments per tenant
- Tracks request counts and timestamps for each tenant
- Returns tenant-specific data in JSON format

## What is Tenant Isolation Mode?

AWS Lambda's tenant isolation mode routes requests to execution environments based on a customer-specified tenant identifier. This ensures that:

- **Execution environments are never reused across different tenants** - Each tenant gets dedicated execution environments
- **Data isolation** - Tenant-specific data remains isolated from other tenants
- **Firecracker virtualization** - Provides workload isolation at the infrastructure level

### When to Use Tenant Isolation

Use tenant isolation mode when building multi-tenant applications that:

- **Execute end-user supplied code** - Limits the impact of potentially incorrect or malicious user code
- **Process tenant-specific data** - Prevents exposure of sensitive data to other tenants
- **Require strict isolation guarantees** - Such as SaaS platforms for workflow automation or code execution

## Architecture

The example consists of:

1. **TenantData** - Immutable struct tracking tenant information:
- `tenantID`: Unique identifier for the tenant
- `requestCount`: Total number of requests from this tenant
- `firstRequest`: Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) of the first request
- `requests`: Array of individual request records

2. **TenantDataStore** - Actor-based storage providing thread-safe access to tenant data across invocations

3. **Lambda Handler** - Processes API Gateway requests and manages tenant data

## Code Structure

```swift
// Immutable tenant data structure
struct TenantData: Codable {
let tenantID: String
let requestCount: Int
let firstRequest: String
let requests: [TenantRequest]

func addingRequest() -> TenantData {
// Returns new instance with incremented count
}
}

// Thread-safe tenant storage using Swift actors
actor TenantDataStore {
private var tenants: [String: TenantData] = [:]

subscript(id: String) -> TenantData? {
tenants[id]
}

func update(id: String, data: TenantData) {
tenants[id] = data
}
}

// Lambda handler extracts tenant ID from context
let runtime = LambdaRuntime {
(event: APIGatewayRequest, context: LambdaContext) -> APIGatewayResponse in

guard let tenantID = context.tenantID else {
return APIGatewayResponse(statusCode: .badRequest, body: "No Tenant ID provided")
}

// Process request for this tenant
let currentData = await tenants[tenantID] ?? TenantData(tenantID: tenantID)
let updatedData = currentData.addingRequest()
await tenants.update(id: tenantID, data: updatedData)

return try APIGatewayResponse(statusCode: .ok, encodableBody: updatedData)
}
```

## Configuration

### SAM Template (template.yaml)

The function is configured with tenant isolation mode and API Gateway parameter mapping in the SAM template:

```yaml
# API Gateway REST API with parameter mapping
MultiTenantApi:
Type: AWS::Serverless::Api
Properties:
StageName: Prod
DefinitionBody:
openapi: 3.0.1
paths:
/:
get:
parameters:
- name: tenant-id
in: query
required: true
x-amazon-apigateway-integration:
type: aws_proxy
httpMethod: POST
uri: !Sub arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${MultiTenantLambda.Arn}/invocations
# Map query parameter to Lambda tenant header
requestParameters:
integration.request.header.X-Amz-Tenant-Id: method.request.querystring.tenant-id

# Lambda function with tenant isolation
MultiTenantLambda:
Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
Properties:
Runtime: provided.al2023
Architectures:
- arm64
# Enable tenant isolation mode
TenancyConfig:
TenantIsolationMode: PER_TENANT
```

### Key Configuration Points

- **TenancyConfig.TenantIsolationMode**: Set to `PER_TENANT` to enable tenant isolation
- **Parameter Mapping**: API Gateway maps the `tenant-id` query parameter to the `X-Amz-Tenant-Id` header required by Lambda
- **REST API**: Uses REST API (not HTTP API) to support request parameter mapping
- **OpenAPI Definition**: Defines the integration using OpenAPI 3.0 specification for fine-grained control
- **Immutable property**: Tenant isolation can only be enabled when creating a new function
- **Required tenant-id**: All invocations must include a tenant identifier

### Why Parameter Mapping is Required

Lambda's tenant isolation feature requires the tenant ID to be passed via the `X-Amz-Tenant-Id` header. When using API Gateway:

1. **Client sends request** with `tenant-id` as a query parameter
2. **API Gateway transforms** the query parameter into the `X-Amz-Tenant-Id` header
3. **Lambda receives** the header and routes to the appropriate tenant-isolated environment

This mapping is configured in the `x-amazon-apigateway-integration` section using:
```yaml
requestParameters:
integration.request.header.X-Amz-Tenant-Id: method.request.querystring.tenant-id
```

## Deployment

### Prerequisites

- Swift (>=6.2)
- Docker (for cross-compilation to Amazon Linux)
- AWS SAM CLI (>=1.147.1)
- AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials

### Build and Deploy

1. **Build the Lambda function**:
```bash
swift package archive --allow-network-connections docker
```

2. **Deploy using SAM**:
```bash
sam deploy --guided
```

3. **Note the API Gateway endpoint** from the CloudFormation outputs

## Testing

### Using API Gateway

The tenant ID is passed as a query parameter. API Gateway automatically maps it to the `X-Amz-Tenant-Id` header:

```bash
# Request from tenant "alice"
curl "https://your-api-id.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod?tenant-id=alice"

# Request from tenant "bob"
curl "https://your-api-id.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod?tenant-id=bob"

# Multiple requests from the same tenant will reuse the execution environment
for i in {1..5}; do
curl "https://your-api-id.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod?tenant-id=alice"
done
```

### Using AWS CLI (Direct Lambda Invocation)

For direct Lambda invocation without API Gateway:

```bash
# Synchronous invocation
aws lambda invoke \
--function-name MultiTenantLambda \
--tenant-id alice \
response.json

# View the response
cat response.json
```

### Expected Response

```json
{
"tenantID": "alice",
"requestCount": 3,
"firstRequest": "1705320000.123456",
"requests": [
{
"requestNumber": 1,
"timestamp": "1705320000.123456"
},
{
"requestNumber": 2,
"timestamp": "1705320075.789012"
},
{
"requestNumber": 3,
"timestamp": "1705320150.345678"
}
]
}
```

**Note**: Timestamps are Unix epoch times (seconds since January 1, 1970) for cross-platform compatibility.

## How Tenant Isolation Works

1. **Request arrives** with a tenant identifier (via query parameter, header, or direct invocation)
2. **Lambda routes the request** to an execution environment dedicated to that tenant
3. **Environment reuse** - Subsequent requests from the same tenant reuse the same environment (warm start)
4. **Isolation guarantee** - Execution environments are never shared between different tenants
5. **Data persistence** - Tenant data persists in memory across invocations within the same execution environment

## Important Considerations

### Concurrency and Scaling

- Lambda imposes a limit of **2,500 tenant-isolated execution environments** (active or idle) for every 1,000 concurrent executions
- Each tenant can scale independently based on their request volume
- Cold starts occur more frequently due to tenant-specific environments

### Pricing

- Standard Lambda pricing applies (compute time and requests)
- **Additional charge** when Lambda creates a new tenant-isolated execution environment
- Price depends on allocated memory and CPU architecture
- See [AWS Lambda Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing) for details

### Limitations

Tenant isolation mode is **not supported** with:
- Function URLs
- Provisioned concurrency
- SnapStart

### Supported Invocation Methods

- ✅ Synchronous invocations
- ✅ Asynchronous invocations
- ✅ API Gateway event triggers
- ✅ AWS SDK invocations

## Security Best Practices

1. **Execution role applies to all tenants** - Use IAM policies to restrict access to tenant-specific resources
2. **Validate tenant identifiers** - Ensure tenant IDs are properly authenticated and authorized
3. **Implement tenant-aware logging** - Include tenant ID in CloudWatch logs for audit trails
4. **Set appropriate timeouts** - Configure function timeout based on expected workload
5. **Monitor per-tenant metrics** - Use CloudWatch to track invocations, errors, and duration per tenant

## Monitoring

### CloudWatch Metrics

Lambda automatically publishes metrics with tenant dimensions:

- `Invocations` - Number of invocations per tenant
- `Duration` - Execution time per tenant
- `Errors` - Error count per tenant
- `Throttles` - Throttled requests per tenant

### Accessing Metrics

```bash
# Get invocation count for a specific tenant
aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics \
--namespace AWS/Lambda \
--metric-name Invocations \
--dimensions Name=FunctionName,Value=MultiTenant Name=TenantId,Value=alice \
--start-time 2024-01-15T00:00:00Z \
--end-time 2024-01-15T23:59:59Z \
--period 3600 \
--statistics Sum
```
