AWS Lambda CloudFormation NodeJS Starter

• uses the official AWS CLI and CloudFormation to manage AWS resources
• no other dependencies are required
• very basic bash scripts, easy to learn and change
• source code of Lambda functions published on S3

Prerequisites

You need an AWS account and the AWS CLI configured:

• Installing the AWS Command Line Interface
• Configuring the AWS Command Line Interface

Installation

git clone [email protected]:OrKoN/aws-lambda-nodejs-cloudformation-starter-kit.git lambda-starter
cd lambda-starter

Modify the code in FooFunction/index.js or create new functions.

Deploying the project

npm run create-stack

Updating the project

npm run update-stack

Deleting the project

npm run delete-stack

Adding New Functions

To add a new function you need to create a new folder where the function will be located and add references to the new function wherever you find a TODO comment in the shell scripts. Additionally, you need to create a build.sh which will build your function and output its version. Also the function resource and its role need to be added to the cloudformation.yaml.
