lambdafai

Lambdafai is a simple framework for building and deploying REST APIs using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3. It consists of:

• A library for routing and handling requests with Express-like syntax.
• A command-line tool for creating, testing, and deploying your API.
• A standard library to simplify interacting with AWS services like DynamoDB.
  • Using this library is optional - you can interact directly with the AWS APIs if you want

Code

var lambdafai = require('lambdafai');

lambdafai('hello-world', function(app) {
  var hello = app.lambda({ name: 'hello' });
  hello.get('/hello', function(req, res) {
    res.send('Hello, world!');
  });
});

Create

node index.js create-resources dev

Test

node index.js invoke dev '{path: "/hello"}'

Deploy

node index.js deploy dev

Ship

node index.js promote dev prod

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started is to jump into the Hello World example. This demonstrates how to use Lambdafai in a development workflow using the command-line tool.

The TODO example is a more complete example that demonstrates how to use DynamoDB support and middleware.
