A disabled man's insights into distributed systems, cloud computing
& cross-platform software development
Are you getting tired of manually deploying your code to AWS after each code change? Today we’re going to implement Continuous Integration for Serverless Lambda, to automate our deployments using a CI/CD pipeline, based on the Git branch we push the commit to!
Test Driven Development (TDD) has many benefits, including allowing us to focus on our requirements with a “unit test first approach” to ensure that we’re only deploying code where the unit tests pass. Today we’re going to cover using Mocha and Chai to test our Typescript Lambda algorithms!
Integration Testing is a level of software testing where individual units are combined and tested as a group. The purpose of this level of testing is to expose faults in the interaction between integrated units. Today we’re going to look at doing Integration Testing using Jest and Supertest.
LocalStack is pretty awesome! It allows you to emulate a number of AWS services on your computer. Today we’re just going to focus on emulating DynamoDB locally to test our Serverless Lambda.
DynamoDb is a brilliant NoSQL database from AWS. It integrates directly with the Serverless Framework, so today we’re going to configure Serverless to work with DynamoDb
Serverless Lambda is amazing, so today we’re going to use a NodeJS template to create and deploy a new Serverless Lambda project to AWS.
Serverless Lambda - I’m sure you’ve heard all about it and are keen to get coding some serverless functions, but before we get started, we need to configure AWS to allow us to create and deploy Serverless projects, so today we’re going to cover getting setup with Serverless in AWS!
