AWS API Demo using Golang and Terraform

Demo Application for AWS API Gateway using Golang and Terraform

Requirements

Environment

• Golang 1.20
• Terraform 1.x
• AWS SAM (for local invocation and debugging only)
• Docker

Local Setup

Golang Setup

Follow the official documentation to install Go on your machine.

If you are using Linux you should use your package manager.

Example Fedora:

sudo dnf install golang

Install Debugger

If you want to use a debugger during development then install following the official documentation.

Then create a run configuration in Goland: Edit configurations -> + -> Go Remote -> Port: 5858

Installation example for Linux:

go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@master

then add to .bashrc:

export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"

Debug Application

Everything you need to invoke a function with an active debugger can be found in the makefile. Look for targets starting with debug-.

Example:

make debug-AddItemFunction

This will start the function and wait until a debugger is connected.

Q & A

Why AWS SAM?

AWS SAM is needed for local invocation in order to debug each Lambda function

Why not use Terraform Workspaces?
