ExpenseManagerBackend serverless API

The ExpenseManagerBackend project, created with aws-serverless-java-container.

The starter project defines a simple /ping resource that can accept GET requests with its tests.

The project folder also includes a template.yml file. You can use this SAM file to deploy the project to AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway or test in local with the SAM CLI.

Pre-requisites

• AWS CLI
• SAM CLI
• Gradle or Maven

Building the project

You can use the SAM CLI to quickly build the project

$ mvn archetype:generate -DartifactId=ExpenseManagerBackend -DarchetypeGroupId=com.amazonaws.serverless.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=aws-serverless-jersey-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.0-M1 -DgroupId=com.pcdev -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dinteractive=false
$ cd ExpenseManagerBackend
$ sam build

Commands you can use next
=========================
[*] Invoke Function: sam local invoke
[*] Deploy: sam deploy --guided

Testing locally with the SAM CLI

From the project root folder - where the template.yml file is located - start the API with the SAM CLI.

$ sam local start-api

...
Mounting com.amazonaws.serverless.archetypes.StreamLambdaHandler::handleRequest (java11) at http://127.0.0.1:3000/{proxy+} [OPTIONS GET HEAD POST PUT DELETE PATCH]
...

Using a new shell, you can send a test ping request to your API:

$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3000/ping | python -m json.tool

{
    "pong": "Hello, World!"
}

Deploying to AWS

To deploy the application in your AWS account, you can use the SAM CLI's guided deployment process and follow the instructions on the screen

$ sam deploy --guided

Once the deployment is completed, the SAM CLI will print out the stack's outputs, including the new application URL. You can use curl or a web browser to make a call to the URL
