erraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

install terraform for your OS. Download Link

The AWS provider is used to interact with the many resources supported by AWS. The provider needs to be configured with the proper credentials before it can be used. Setup AWS CLI and add your accounts access and secret keys. so that you don't have to add this into code.

First clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/harshalkondke/aws-url-shortener-terraform.git

Before terraform apply we need to download the provider plugin

terraform init

Display plan before building stack

terraform plan

Apply building stack

terraform apply

If you wish to destory all the resources that terraform created, use this

terraform destroy

After building stack you will get API endpoint as an output.

you can use postman to post a request to API or use any programming language to interact with API

If using postman,

In url box, Enter the API endpoint followed by /app

Select method as POST. In Body select raw and type json

Enter sample input:

{
"url":"http://google.com",
"id":"google"
}

now when you hit send button, You will get http 200 response when data added to dynamodb database

Paste the API endpoint in browser followed by key i.e. google in this case (use your api endpoint here)

https://<apikey>.execute-api.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/prod/google

Boom you are redirected to google.com
