  • when should I use api-gateway aws vs self written nodejs api
    1 project | /r/node | 24 Feb 2023
    Does anyone have any success with API Gateway/Lamba for local environment with hot-reloading? I was playing around with “sam local start-api” a few weeks ago with along with CDK but it doesn’t seem like hot-reloading is supported, and need to manually restart for code changes to reflect, which is currently stopping me from trying out the API Gateway/Lamba combo further due to inefficient DX. Here’s a GitHub issue about it: https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/901

    Mostly due to lack of proper documentation it was difficult to get the HTTPApi syntax correct. The yaml file is very picky for CORS configuration on an HTTPApi. Luckily I found this github issue which allowed me to troubleshoot my yaml file.

    No, it's not just muscle memory. It doesn't work with podman. That's what I'm talking about https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/1668
  • Sharing Typescript code between AWS Lambda with AWS SAM CLI

    AWS SAM CLI with the support of Typescript is still in Beta. If you want more advanced features maybe you should not use it. Lately, in version 1.49.0 External and Loader properties have been added. If you want to share your feedback and/or requests this issue has been created.
  • Analyzing AWS Lambda and GraalVM
    2 projects | /r/aws | 14 Mar 2022
    I spent a while creating a custom runtime to use the native-image agent to harvest config from my Lambda, and then patching sam cli to work in Docker user networks... after pushing through all that, I still didn't get a working build - the native-image compiler just doesn't support everything (or didn't support my feature set, at the time - there has been a new release since then). In my case I think it was Guice that defeated me.
  • How to Use Source Maps in TypeScript Lambda Functions (with Benchmarks)
    11 projects | dev.to | 24 Jan 2022
    SAM support for TypeScript has been lagging for some time, but a pull request was just merged that should change that. It looks like we'll be able to add an aws_sam key in the package.json file to enable building within the SAM engine as part of sam build. Although this PR has been merged to aws-lambda-builders, the engine behind sam build, it will still need to be added to aws-sam-cli and released (to much fanfare, one expects) before it can be used with SAM.
