Functions

HTTP Trigger Function (API Gateway)

functions:

  # API Endpoints
  books-register:
    handler: modules/books/endpoints/create.create #Path to function
    memorySize: 128 # Lambda Memory Limit
    timeout: 60 # Lambda Timeout
    events: 
      - http: # HTTP Trigger 
          path: services/books # API Endpoint
          method: post # HTTP Method

Cloudwatch Events Functions (Cron)

Lambda Schedule Docs

# Background Function
  books-consumer:
    handler: modules/books/functions/worker/handler.worker #Path to function
    events:
      - schedule: #Cloudwatch Event Trigger
        rate: cron(* * * * * *) # Cron Syntax 
        enabled: true # Trigger Enabled

Development environment

This boilerplate uses serverless-local plugin and some containers and plugins to emulate the AWS Resources

docker-compose up

The applications will start on http://localhost:3000

Dev Plugins

This boilerplate contains following plugins for local development:

• serverless-offline - For run API Gateway local and manage plugins
• serverless-offline-scheduler - CloudWatch Schedule Adapter
• serverless-offline-sqs-esmq - SQS Adapter
• serverless-dynamodb-local - DynamoDB Adapter
• serverless-plugin-split-stacks - Split Cloudformation Templates

Production environment

Deploy full services

serverless deploy -v

Deploy a function

serverless deploy function -f books-consumer

Get function logs

serverless books-consumer -f bananinha -t

Clean All

serverless remove
