eulalie

Eulalie is an asynchronous AWS client supporting Clojure/JVM & Clojurescript/Node, primarily intended as a platform for building higher-level client libraries. With the exception of a couple of utility namespaces, Eulalie exposes a single entrypoint, and uses service-specific transformations to turn maps describing requests into maps describing responses.

Rather than attempt a gaudy looking Clojure API for each service (e.g. type mapping, post-processing multimethods, etc.), Eulalie worries about less savoury details: structural conversions to/from the underlying format, request signing, retry/backoff policies, etc.

Services

• Dynamo
• Dynamo Streams
• SNS
• SQS
• Lambda (documentation)
• Elastic Transcoder
• SES
• Cognito/Sync, STS

Utilities

• eulalie.creds - Retrieval/refreshing of instance-specific IAM role credentials, etc.
• eulalie.instance-data - Utilities for structured retrieval of EC2 instance metadata.

Higher-level Clients

There are a couple of higher-level clients built with Eulalie, both of which also support Clojurescript/Node - if you're interested in Dynamo, Dynamo Streams, SQS, or SNS, it's highly recommended that you rather use either:

• Hildebrand - Dynamo/Streams
• Fink-Nottle - SNS & SNS

Clojurescript

The motivating use-case for Clojurescript support was the ability to write AWS Lambda functions, which is why the initial focus is on Node. That said, supporting in-browser use is a priority for the next release - all of the services currently supported (barring Lambda) can be used from the browser with the offical AWS Javascript SDK. Help would be appreciated.

:optimizations :advanced

In order to enable dead-code elimination, eulalie is happy to run under :optimizations :advanced. It uses cljs-nodejs-externs to extern the Node standard library. Its NPM dependencies are declared via lein-npm:

• source-map-support
• buffer-crc32
• xml2js (to ape clojure.xml in the SNS/SQS client code)

And, optimization more generally

The implementation works great, though it's likely there are some adjustments particular to its runtime that someone more Node-experienced might make (e.g. tuning Agent construction in platform.cljs for large numbers of concurrent SSL connections to a particular host).

API

Example

(ns ...
  (:require [eulalie.core :as eulalie]
            [eulalie.dynamo]
            ...))
            
(eulalie/issue-request!
  {:creds {:access-key ... :secret-key ... [:token :region :endpoint]}
   :service :dynamo
   :target :describe-table
   :body {:table-name ...}})
;; => Channel
;; {:response {:body {:table-name ...} ...}
;;  :retries 0
;;  :request ...}

The API for consuming services basically consists of eulalie/issue-request!. Service-specific functionality is incorporated by requiring the appropriate namespace (e.g. eulalie.dynamo, above). There are whole bunch of utilities to make service definition pretty simple, if that's something you're interested in.
