Lambda Serverless example

This has two lambda functions

1. getComments
2. event trigger is the invocation of the API gateway end point generated by severless (e.g https://XXXXX.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/comments/5), see serverless generated endpoint example below.
3. calls jsonplacehoder to get dummy comments data.
4. store the retrieve data from above to S3 on the aws-lambdaserverless-bl-created bucket
5. returns a success message with file url to download the file
6. commentParser
7. event trigger is s3:ObjectCreated:* in the aws-lambdaserverless-comment-inbox bucket
8. this would then get the object given that it has a prefix of 'comments-' and suffix of '.json'
9. console log the data.Body - displaying it in CloudWatch

Set-up

• $ npm i serverless -g
• clone this repo and cd to the folder
• $ npm i
• $ sls deploy -v
• open the endpoint generated by serverless, and supply the necessary id (this is the same id that would be passed to jsonplaceholder to retrive a dummy comment data). Example of the generated endpoint below:

Service Information
service: aws-lambdaServerless-bl
stage: dev
region: us-east-1
api keys:
  None
endpoints:
  GET - https://2po4y4sn2c.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/comments/{id}
functions:
  aws-lambdaServerless-bl-dev-commentParser: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:897428427632:function:aws-lambdaServerless-bl-dev-commentParser
  aws-lambdaServerless-bl-dev-getComment: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:897428427632:function:aws-lambdaServerless-bl-dev-getComment

• then you would get this message when you invoke the above end point. Please note at the fileUrl returned.

{
"statusCode": 200,
"body": "{"message":"Success! You could download the file here:","fileUrl":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-lambdaserverless-bl-created/comments-be9a0f9f-5af2-4e3a-ba60-f89e21b71c54.json"}"
}

• download this file by accessing the fileUrl link and store the file in your local drive. This would later be uploaded to trigger the commentParser lambda function.
• run this $ sls logs -f commentParser -t on the terminal, this would allow us to watch what is being logged in the commentParser lambda function
• go to your AWS S3 and locate the bucket aws-lambdaserverless-comment-inbox and upload the downloaded file
• after upload look at the terminal where you executed $ sls logs to see the content of the file

Note

• change the bucket names in the code as these are being used already
