Go Path Router

This configures an AWS Lambda Function which will act as a router for go cli, this means you don’t have to reference all your go packages using the full github.com/{org}/{project} path, you’ll be able to use your own domain like the Kubernetes (k8s.io, sigs.k8s.io), Etcd (etcd.io), etc.

Why

There are a couple reasons why this might be useful for you.

1. If you plan on moving your project around but want to be independent of github domains and orgs.

2. Shorten the package imports for cleanliness.

3. You like customizing things 😄

Setup

To install this you’ll need to first install sam, if you are on macOS you can do this using brew.

brew tap aws/tap
brew install aws-sam-cli

Install

If you will export a view parameters that the make file will use. These define whcih region to deploy into, what the AWS CloudFormation Stack Name should be and what the S3 Bucket the code should be packaged into.

# S3 Bucket where the code is packaged
export S3_BUCKET=chrishein-website-assets
export STACK_NAME=hein-dev-code
# Domain you want to act as your proxy
export DOMAIN=go.hein.dev
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
# For API Gateway you want to provision your cert in us-east-1 even if your deploy in another region.
export ACM_CERT=arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:XXXXXXXXXXXX:certificate/eddb30e8-6502-46bd-b4e0-2f373c1faa8d
# Code Path represents the Github organization to proxy to
export CODE_PATH=github.com/christopherhein
# Route 53 hosted zone, make sure to include a period at the end.
export HOSTED_ZONE=hein.dev.

Then we can deploy the application, creating a CloudFormation stack which provisions and API Gateway and Lambda function to contain the application.
