Show HN: AWS Lambda Terraform Cookbook with working examples
Alex, OpenFaaS founder here. The author has done a huge amount of work here, I am surprised that it's being given away for free, and not being monetized (it should be).
I often hear folks complain that Kubernetes is complex, and hard to understand. We've done a lot of work to make the experience of deploying functions simple on K8s, with very little to manage. But it still costs you a K8s cluster.
We created a new of openfaas called "faasd" which can run very well somewhere like DO or Hetzner for 3 EUR / mo. It doesn't include clustering, but is likely to be suitable for a lot of folks, who don't want to get deep into IAM territory.
The REST API for OpenFaaS has a terraform provider that works with either version - https://github.com/ewilde/terraform-provider-openfaas
And there's a guide on setting up faasd with TLS on DigitalOcean, it took about 30 seconds to launch, and makes building functions much simpler than Lambda. "faas-cli up"
https://www.openfaas.com/blog/faasd-tls-terraform/
If I were going to use Lambda, the author's examples are probably what I would turn to, but there are other ways and it needn't be this complex.
What are some alternatives?
tfsec - Security scanner for your Terraform code
terraform-aws-lambda - Terraform module, which takes care of a lot of AWS Lambda/serverless tasks (build dependencies, packages, updates, deployments) in countless combinations 🇺🇦
infracost - Cloud cost estimates for Terraform in pull requests💰📉 Shift FinOps Left!
count - Comparing serverless platforms
djambda - Djambda is an example project setting up Django application in AWS Lambda managed by Terraform.
terrascan - Detect compliance and security violations across Infrastructure as Code to mitigate risk before provisioning cloud native infrastructure.
