Projects VS flow-pipeline

Now that I had decided on setting up Bitwarden, I had to build an AWS environment to run it on. I decided to do this in Terraform, as it lets me document Infrastructure-as-Code, and makes it easy to set up and tear down. I've put all of the code needed with instructions and minimal tweaks in this Github project folder for others to use as well, if it is helpful.

Here is a project I did where I included the Python code, and got Terraform to zip the code and upload to Lambda. I did create the Lambda Layer manually with all the dependencies though.

Add it to the API Gateway Stage. Here is my Terraform code on how I did it. You should be able to add it manually though under Access Log Settings. More info in this article.

Here's an example from a project I did that may help. You'll need:

The README.md on the Github page is also extremely detailed, so I'd recommend reading through that as well.

I'd also recommend adding some print statements to your Lambda function so the data shows up in Cloudwatch. You can see how I did this here. I added some specific cases and responses (and I used print statements for debugging in CloudWatch). Instead of just return fizz, add multiple cases, status codes, and print log lines so they show up in CloudWatch.

Many Thanks to Cloudflare and dev.to for giving us this opportunity.

Unlike other providers in this list, Cloudflare is not just a serverless database platform. Instead, it’s a cloud connectivity platform that provides several web services. It’s one of the world's largest networks and serves 55 million HTTP requests per second.

Using a Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) such as Cloudflare, can help absorb large amounts of traffic and mitigate the impact of DoS attacks.

When a user requests a webpage, the CDN delivers the content from the nearest server to the user. As a result, the loading times are faster since the data has to travel a shorter distance. CDNs offer endless benefits like reduced bandwidth usage, scalability, increased reliability, and more. Some well-known CDNs include Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, Akamai, and Fastly. They offer several features that help reduce web page sizes and make websites run better.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare offers low/no markup domain name registration with a free DNS service. This will virtually always be your cheapest option for domain name renewals. They don't list prices for all TLDs upfront, so use this list to get your best estimate.

Our site used Cloudflare to handle all our DNS needs. Cloudfare has a number of rewrite options but as we needed to make a decision based on a) the URL path and b) rewriting to a specific domain, the only option (as a non enterprise customer) was to use Cloudflare workers (via worker routes).

Add Cloudflare Cahce & Protection

Cloudflare is a cloud-provider, most-known for their CDN, offering several services to build cloud applications. Among them, Cloudflare Workers is a serverless service that allows you to run serverless functions at edge (like Lambda@Edge if you are an AWS user). This means that your code runs closer to end-users, resulting in blazing fast response times.
