Leveraging AWS Lambda in Tines
Blog post from Tines
Tines focuses on creating accessible primitives for integrating products and services, such as data reception, text modification, condition checking, and HTTP requests, enabling users to build Stories with these capabilities. The platform balances broad and specific tool development, illustrated by the discussion on the Levenshtein distance for phishing detection. Instead of directly integrating it, the flexibility of AWS Lambda is highlighted, which allows for the execution of short computational tasks like calculating data similarity using Python's FuzzyWuzzy library. The text provides a walkthrough of creating and deploying a Lambda function for this purpose and integrating it into Tines using the "Invoke AWS Lambda Function" template. This approach allows users to perform complex operations efficiently, demonstrating the synergy between Tines and AWS Lambda in solving specific computational challenges.
