# Lambda@Edge [Lambda@Edge](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/edge/) is a serverless platform by Amazon Web Services. It allows you to run Lambda functions at Amazon CloudFront's edge locations, enabling you to customize behaviors for HTTP requests/responses. Hono supports Lambda@Edge with the Node.js 18+ environment. ## 1. Setup When creating the application on Lambda@Edge, [CDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-cdk.html) is useful to setup the functions such as CloudFront, IAM Role, API Gateway, and others. Initialize your project with the `cdk` CLI. ::: code-group ```sh [npm] mkdir my-app cd my-app cdk init app -l typescript npm i hono mkdir lambda ``` ```sh [yarn] mkdir my-app cd my-app cdk init app -l typescript yarn add hono mkdir lambda ``` ```sh [pnpm] mkdir my-app cd my-app cdk init app -l typescript pnpm add hono mkdir lambda ``` ```sh [bun] mkdir my-app cd my-app cdk init app -l typescript bun add hono mkdir lambda ``` ::: ## 2. Hello World Edit `lambda/index_edge.ts`. ```ts import { Hono } from 'hono' import { handle } from 'hono/lambda-edge' const app = new Hono() app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello Hono on Lambda@Edge!')) export const handler = handle(app) ``` ## 3. Deploy Edit `bin/my-app.ts`. ```ts #!/usr/bin/env node import 'source-map-support/register' import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib' import { MyAppStack } from '../lib/my-app-stack' const app = new cdk.App() new MyAppStack(app, 'MyAppStack', { env: { account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT, region: 'us-east-1', }, }) ``` Edit `lambda/cdk-stack.ts`. ```ts import { Construct } from 'constructs' import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib' import * as cloudfront from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-cloudfront' import * as origins from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-cloudfront-origins' import * as lambda from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda' import { NodejsFunction } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda-nodejs' import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3' export class MyAppStack extends cdk.Stack { public readonly edgeFn: lambda.Function constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) { super(scope, id, props) const edgeFn = new NodejsFunction(this, 'edgeViewer', { entry: 'lambda/index_edge.ts', handler: 'handler', runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_20_X, }) // Upload any html const originBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'originBucket') new cloudfront.Distribution(this, 'Cdn', { defaultBehavior: { origin: new origins.S3Origin(originBucket), edgeLambdas: [ { functionVersion: edgeFn.currentVersion, eventType: cloudfront.LambdaEdgeEventType.VIEWER_REQUEST, }, ], }, }) } } ``` Finally, run the command to deploy: ```sh cdk deploy ``` ## Callback If you want to add Basic Auth and continue with request processing after verification, you can use `c.env.callback()` ```ts import { Hono } from 'hono' import { basicAuth } from 'hono/basic-auth' import type { Callback, CloudFrontRequest } from 'hono/lambda-edge' import { handle } from 'hono/lambda-edge' type Bindings = { callback: Callback request: CloudFrontRequest } const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: Bindings }>() app.get( '*', basicAuth({ username: 'hono', password: 'acoolproject', }) ) app.get('/', async (c, next) => { await next() c.env.callback(null, c.env.request) }) export const handler = handle(app) ```
