Rust API Gateway v2 + Lambda + Local Server

A simpler implementation of rust in a lambda with api gateway v2 in front of it, and a local server to test locally

Global Dependencies

  • Node.js
  • NPM / Yarn
  • Rust
  • Cargo
  • cargo-cmd (optional)
  • cargo-watch
  • x86_64-unknown-linux-musl (*)

x86_64-unknown-linux-musl Installation

If you are going to build this project locally, in order to build the project properly to use in AWS Lambda, its expected that you install the x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target on all platforms with:

$ rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

On Linux platforms, you will need to install musl-tools

On Mac OSX, you will need to install a MUSL cross compilation toolchain:

$ brew install filosottile/musl-cross/musl-cross

Install

In the root of the project, install Node.js dependencies:

yarn

In the functions/api directory, install Rust dependencies (only if you want to modify something on Rust project):

cargo build

Run server locally

First, In the functions/api directory, make a copy of .env.example to .env.

Then, to run the webserver locally, just execute:

cargo cmd dev

If you don't have cargo-cmd installed, you have to run:

source .env && cargo watch -x 'run'

This command will get the server up and running on http://localhost:3008.

To make requests, read the session Request data from API below, and use http://localhost:3008 as URL.

Deploy

API Gateway V2 only works in localstack if you have a PRO plan. So, you should deploy directly on AWS if you want to test this in production mode.

Check the Serverless Framework documentation to learn how to make a deploy.

As an example, if you want to deploy a project in dev mode, you can run:

yarn serverless deploy --stage dev

Don't forget to configure your AWS credentials.

Request data from API

To make a request, get the URL given from serverless and use curl:

curl http://<URL>

You should see the response:

Hello Rust!%

There is a route to test a request with POST method:

curl -i -X POST http://<URL>/user -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe"}'

You sould see the response:

{"first_name":"John","last_name":"Doe"}%

The data is being validated with serde. If you don't pass some of the required keys (first_name or last_name in this case), you will see an error message.

Try calling without last_name, for example:

curl -i -X POST http://<URL>/user -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"first_name": "John"}'

You should see the response:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
content-length: 69
content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Json deserialize error: missing field `last_name` at line 1 column 26%
