terraform-lambda-aws

Deploys an infrastructure to test an AWS Lambda Workflow tht consists in these three steps:

  • Send logs to an AWS Kinesis Data Stream
  • Process logs with a Lambda function
  • Save processed logs into a DynamoDB table

For more information, visit lambda-aws.

Features

The repository is based on a single main.tf terraform file that:

  • Configures as backend an AWS s3 bucket
  • Provisions an AWS Kinesis Data Stream and an AWS DynamoDB table
  • Provisions an AWS Lambda function starting from a .zip file

An example of .zip file is provided here.

Requirements

A .zip file containing an AWS Lambda code is mandatory. You can choose its name and update the variable lambda_function_name. See variables for more information

Code structure

main.tf calls 3 different modules:

Modules terraform-module-kinesis and terraform-module-dynamodb should be executed before the Lambda:

# Adds AWS credentials
export TF_VAR_access_key="xxxxxxx"
export TF_VAR_secret_key="yyyyyyy"
# init the s3 backend
terraform init
# Specify which environment you need
export TFVARS_FILE=testing.tfvars
# Create the plan for the lambda dependencies (Kinesis data stream and DynamoDB table)
terraform plan -var-file=$TFVARS_FILE -target=module.kinesis_stream -target=module.dynamodb_table -out dependencies
# Apply the labda dependencies resources
terraform apply "dependencies"
# Plan the Lambda provisioning
terraform plan -var-file=$TFVARS_FILE -out lambda_function
# Provision the Lambda
terraform apply "lambda_function"

Variables

# AWS Region
region = "us-east-2"
# Lambda function name
lambda_function_name = "kinesis-to-dynamodb"
# Lambda function description
lambda_description   = "Terraform provisioned Lambda to process Kinesis events and to store them into a DynamoDB table"
# Lambda function handler
lambda_handler       = "lambda.lambda_handler"
# Lambda function runtime

# Lambda function .zip file to load

# Name of the AWS Kinesis Data Stream
kinesis_stream = "application-logs-stream"
# Number of shards of the AWS Kinesis Data Stream
kinesis_shard_count = 1
# Retention period (how much time it saves its events) of the AWS Kinesis Data Stream
kinesis_retention_period = 24
# DynamoDB table name
dynamodb_table_name = "application-logs-table"
# DynamoDB table primary hash key
dynamodb_table_hash_key = "id"
# DynamoDB table primary hash key type (S,N,B - String, Number, Binary)
dynamodb_table_hash_key_type = "N"
# DynamoDB table billing mode (PROVISIONED/PAY_PER_REQUEST)
dynamodb_table_billing_mode = "PROVISIONED"
# DynamoDB table read capacity
dynamodb_table_read_capacity = 20
# DynamoDB table write capacity
dynamodb_table_write_capacity = 20

CICD

A Jenkinsfile that validates the Terraform workflow is provided in the repository.
