AWS

Basice Concepts

• REST
  REpresentational State Transfer is a software architectural style.
• RESTful
  A web API that obeys the REST constraints is informally described as RESTful:
  • A client-server architecture made up of clients, servers, and resources, with requests managed through HTTP
  • Access resources via URI and URL-encoded parameters
  • Use of JSON or XML to transmit data.
  • Stateless client-server communication
  • Cacheable

In this post, I will share how to set up a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline on AWS for API gateway. The following AWS services will be used:

• Cloudformation allows you to model your entire infrastructure and application resources
• CodePipeline is a continuous delivery service
• CodeCommit is a version control service
• CodeBuild is a fully managed build service in the cloud
• Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is storage for the Internet
• API Gateway is an AWS service for creating, publishing, maintaining, monitoring, and securing REST, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs
• AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service

Suppose I want to upload MaxMind GeoIp city database to AWS, and make it as Lambda layer.

AWS has announced the end of support for Node.js 10.x. Hence, I have to upgrade our existing Node.js 10.x Lambda functions to 14.x.

In this article, I will try to use the administrator account to setup all necessary components for another IAM user to do all CodeCommit and CodeBuild related tasks. Finally, the IAM user is able to maintain CodeBuild projects with minimal permissions.
