Sagemaker endpoint in lambda function

1

As I am new in AWS I want to understand, how to parse the response returned by Sagemaker's endpoint. I have found out a way to do it using lambda functions or creating custom image for endpoint. I have deployed an ASR model, so the inference output is text. What I want to do is running a script on it in the cloud, then return the response. I searched a lot, and found out this article, but I didn't get the idea why to create API also. Can you guide me to get out from this trap? Thanks a lot.

  • I hope you accept my answer!

Sure, I'd be happy to help you understand how to parse the response returned by a SageMaker endpoint and how Lambda functions and API Gateway come into play.

  1. SageMaker Endpoint:

    • When you deploy a model to a SageMaker endpoint, it becomes accessible via a REST API. You send requests to this endpoint with input data (in your case, audio data for ASR) and receive predictions (text in your case) in response.
  2. Parsing Response:

    • Once you receive the response from the SageMaker endpoint, you'll need to parse it to extract the relevant information. Since your model returns text, parsing the response may involve extracting the text from the response body.
  3. Lambda Function:

    • Lambda functions can be used to process the response from the SageMaker endpoint. You can create a Lambda function that receives the response as input, parses it, and performs any additional processing or logic you require.
    • For example, you might want to perform post-processing on the text returned by the model, such as language translation, sentiment analysis, or storing the results in a database.
  4. API Gateway:

    • API Gateway acts as a front-end for your Lambda function, allowing you to create an HTTP endpoint that can receive requests from clients (e.g., web applications, mobile apps).
    • By integrating your Lambda function with API Gateway, you can expose your processing logic as a RESTful API. Clients can send requests to this API, which are then passed to your Lambda function for processing.
    • In your case, if you want to expose your processing logic as an API endpoint, you would create an API Gateway API and configure it to trigger your Lambda function when requests are received.
  5. Benefits of Creating an API:

    • Creating an API allows you to expose your functionality to external clients in a standardized and scalable way. Clients can interact with your service using familiar HTTP methods (e.g., GET, POST) and formats (e.g., JSON).
    • APIs also provide a level of abstraction, allowing you to decouple your processing logic from the underlying implementation. This makes it easier to make changes or updates to your system in the future without affecting clients.

In summary, by using a combination of SageMaker endpoints, Lambda functions, and API Gateway, you can build a scalable and flexible system for processing responses from your SageMaker model and exposing the functionality as a RESTful API.

  • Thanks a lot, I appreciate. As APIs are not cost-effective, I would like to know, in my case can I avoid using them and send request directly to lambda function and get the result?
