JokeAPI VS serverless-graphql

JokeAPI

https://jokeapi.dev/ - site for generate random jokes in English language

Typhoon Orchestrator is a great way to deploy ETL workflow on AWS Lambda. In this tutorial we intend to show how easy to use and versatile it is by deploying code to Lambda that gets a random joke from https://jokeapi.dev once a day and sends it to your telegram group.

We will get a random joke from https://jokeapi.dev/ API. It's free with some limitation on hit rate etc.

Axios as an HTTP client. It fetches random jokes from https://jokeapi.dev.

Sure but I don't know what's there to say. It is just a dashboard I made with plain old Javascript, php and HTML. Raspberry's stats are updated every minute and every 10 minutes there is an ajax call to the services to check for a 200 HTTP status response, so that their lid will remain green. Ah yes also there is a call to the jokes api to get a joke every time it is loaded. Hm, writing this I realized there are some things that should have been told. Sorry. Thanks for your reaction though. :)

I searched for a free and open source Joke API, and found one on GitHub at https://github.com/Sv443/JokeAPI.

Since then, the ecosystem has changed. Using the Serverless Framework makes deployment simpler. We released the managed Tracetest App making any serverless-based systems simpler to instrument and test. You can now test public-facing apps with no infra overhead!

We see some great results from using these in conjunction with frameworks such as SST or Serverless, and also some real spaghetti from people who organically proliferate 100’s of functions over time and lose track of how they relate to each other or how to update them safely across time and service. Buyer beware!

When we think about AWS serverless service, the first thing that comes to our mind is Lambda function. Yes, the quickest way to deploy this backend Express JS app to AWS is to deploy it as a Lambda function. The easiest way is using Serverless Framework.

In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

Naturally, there are several options available to declare your cloud resources. The options with the most popularity are the CDK, AWS CloudFormation, SST, Serverless framework, Terraform, and AWS SAM. There are others, but when talking about Infrastructure as Code (IaC), these are the ones you hear about most often.

1 - Serverless + AWS CDK + Lift: An integration that amps up the traditional Serverless Framework with Lift's static frontend construct and CDK's robust infra definition.

It's a bit easier in Python if you use tools like https://www.serverless.com/. I'm not sure if Rust has something similar yet.
