Take home work

takehome

Sample work to explore building and deploying lambda functions.

Approach

GitHub has a JSON API, so lets explore using the API. The following URL gets us the last commits from the jq repo. https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/commits

• bash/perl/go/python/scripting parsing exercise: Write a script to grab the last 50 commits and extract a list of the hashes/SHA for commits that have a different author than commitor.
• programming exercise: Convert the above script into an AWS lambda compatible language function.
• application deployment exercise: Provide the cloudformation template, or scripts, used to deploy the above lambda function into AWS and show sample execution

Prerequisites

Ensure the amazon cli tools are installed and configuration is complete. The build and deploy scripts expect a profile of takehome to be set.

Usage

the python and node folders each have a deploy.sh and package.sh Package will update the cf template and prepare things for upload to S3 and deploy will do the work. Alternatively, the node sample can be done in a single step npm run deploy. This requires node and npm to be installed, and the intent would be to have a Jenkins or Travis job call the npm script.

CodeStar

AWS Code star may also be used - that work is located here:

takehome's Issues

Does this diagram match the architecture you have in mind?

Hi @bcampagnolo ,

my team and I are currently working on automated generation of architecture diagrams for CloudFormation and serverless projects. Your project is particularly interesting as it represents a good real-world use case.

The tool we are working on generated the following diagram for your repo. I am happy to get your feedback about it. It would be very helpful for our product development.

Does the diagram match the architecture you have in mind?

Cheers,
Rajiv
