## Serverless
|
||
|
||
Serverless eliminates the need to plan for infrastructure and let's you focus on your
|
||
application.
|
||
|
||
## Intent
|
||
|
||
Whether to reduce your infrastructure costs, shrink the time you spend on ops tasks,
|
||
simplify your deployment processes, reach infinite scalability, serverless cuts time
|
||
to market in half.
|
||
|
||
## Explanation
|
||
|
||
Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider
|
||
dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Pricing is based on the
|
||
actual amount of resources consumed by an application, rather than on pre-purchased
|
||
units of capacity.
|
||
|
||
## Serverless framework
|
||
|
||
[Serverless](https://serverless.com/) is a toolkit for deploying and operating serverless architectures.
|
||
|
||
## (Function as a Service or "FaaS")
|
||
|
||
The term ‘Serverless’ is confusing since with such applications there are both server
|
||
hardware and server processes running somewhere, but the difference to normal
|
||
approaches is that the organization building and supporting a ‘Serverless’ application
|
||
is not looking after the hardware or the processes - they are outsourcing this to a vendor.
|
||
|
||
Some of the Serverless Cloud Providers are
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
Anything that triggers an Lambda Function to execute is regarded by the Framework as
|
||
an Event. Most of the Serverless Cloud Providers support following Events
|
||
- Http
|
||
- PubSub Events
|
||
- scheduled
|
||
|
||
AWS supports processing event generated from AWS Services (S3/Cloudwatch/etc) and
|
||
using aws as a compute engine is our first choice.
|
||
|
||
## AWS lambda function implementation
|
||
|
||
AWS lambda SDK provides pre-defined interface `com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime
|
||
.RequestHandler` to implement our lambda function.
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
public class LambdaInfoApiHandler implements RequestHandler<Map<String, Object>, ApiGatewayResponse> {
|
||
|
||
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(LambdaInfoApiHandler.class);
|
||
private static final Integer SUCCESS_STATUS_CODE = 200;
|
||
|
||
|
||
@Override
|
||
public ApiGatewayResponse handleRequest(Map<String, Object> input, Context context) {
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
handleRequest method is where the function code is implemented. Context provides
|
||
useful information about Lambda execution environment. AWS Lambda function needs a
|
||
deployment package. This package is either a .zip or .jar file that contains all the
|
||
dependencies of the function.
|
||
|
||
`serverless.yml` contains configuration to manage deployments for your functions.
|
||
|
||
## Run example in local
|
||
|
||
# Pre-requisites
|
||
* Node.js v6.5.0 or later.
|
||
* Serverless CLI v1.9.0 or later. You can run npm install -g serverless to install it.
|
||
* An AWS account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up for a free trial that includes 1 million free Lambda requests per month.
|
||
* [Set-up](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/credentials/) your Provider Credentials. Watch the video on setting up credentials
|
||
|
||
# build and deploy
|
||
|
||
* `cd serverless`
|
||
* `mvn clean package`
|
||
* `serverless deploy --stage=dev --verbose`
|
||
|
||
Based on the configuration in `serverless.yml` serverless framework creates a
|
||
cloud formation stack for S3 (ServerlessDeploymentBucket), IAM Role
|
||
(IamRoleLambdaExecution), cloud watch (log groups), API Gateway (ApiGatewayRestApi)
|
||
and the Lambda function.
|
||
|
||
The command will print out Stack Outputs which looks something like this
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
endpoints:
|
||
GET - https://xxxxxxxxx.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/info
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
CurrentTimeLambdaFunctionQualifiedArn: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:xxxxxxxxxxx:function:lambda-info-http-endpoint-dev-currentTime:4
|
||
ServiceEndpoint: https://xxxxxxxxx.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev
|
||
ServerlessDeploymentBucketName: lambda-info-http-endpoin-serverlessdeploymentbuck-2u8uz2i7cap2
|
||
```
|
||
access the endpoint to invoke the function.
