Moesif AWS Lambda Apollo GraphQL Example

Moesif is an API Analytics and monitoring platform for GraphQL.

Apollo is a popular frameworks for creating and using GraphQL in the Node.js ecosystem.

This example is an aws lambda application with Moesif's API analytics and monitoring integrated.

How to run this example

• Create an AWS S3 bucket.

• Create the template (template.yaml). This will look for a file called graphql.js with the export graphqlHandler. It creates one API endpoints: /graphql (GET and POST)

• Package source code and dependencies

  aws cloudformation package \
  --template-file template.yaml \
  --output-template-file serverless-output.yaml \
  --s3-bucket <bucket-name>

  This will read and transform the template, created in previous step. Package and upload the artifact to the S3 bucket and generate another template for the deployment.

• Deploy the API

  aws cloudformation deploy \
  --template-file serverless-output.yaml \
  --stack-name prod \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
  

  This will create the Lambda Function and API Gateway for GraphQL. In this example, we use prod as stack name but any stack name could be used.

• You will also want to add an environment vairable MOESIF_APPLICATION_ID with the value being your application id from your Moesif account

  Your Moesif Application Id can be found in the Moesif Portal. After signing up for a Moesif account, your Moesif Application Id will be displayed during the onboarding steps.

  You can always find your Moesif Application Id at any time by logging into the Moesif Portal, click on the top right menu, and then clicking Installation.

• Go to the URL for the API gateway such as https://XXXXXX.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/default/my-test-function

• The API Calls should show up in Moesif.
