Typescript AWS Terraform Starter

A boilerplate for developing serverless applications with typescript and terraform.

• ✅ webpack to compile deployment packages.
• ✅ jest and for testing
• ✅ typescript-is to validate event input
• ✅ Minimal terraform configuration to manage deployment.

Prerequisites:

• terraform
• The AWS cli.

I believe both can be installed via brew (`brew install terraform aws)

Commands

• npm run build - Turns all typescript files in lambda-fns into lambda deployment packages (To deploy run )
• npm run test - Runs all tests
• npm run test:watch - Rerun tests when files change
• npm run plan - Display terraform deployment plan. Shows you what AWS resources will be created.
• npm run deploy - Deploys project to aws with terraform
• npm run destroy - Tear down project on aws with terraform

Adding more Lambdas

1. Simply duplicate lambda-fns/example.ts and edit the file and filename.
2. Run npm run deploy and all files in lambda-fns will be deployed on AWS as lambda handlers.

Validating lambda input

This boilerplate uses typescript-is to check types at runtime, you can use this as an easy way to validate lambda input, the example handler at lambda-fns/example.ts uses assertType<MyEvent>(event) to validate the type of the event.

Testing

This repository uses jest and ts-jest. Every lambda function should have an accompanying test file in lambda-fns/__tests__.
