Sample serverless web application with redshift through terraform

Generally following along with https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/build-serverless-web-app-lambda-apigateway-s3-dynamodb-cognito/module-1/ That is where the resources are from, such as the s3 website

Lambda Functions:

requestUnicorn

• Receives POSTs from API gateway containing Auth information from Cognito and coordinate data from the web app
• Does some processing to figure out which Unicorn to send
• Queues the results in SQS, returns the results to the web app through API gateway

processQueue

• Grabs every message in SQS (in configurable batch sizes), creates and uploads a csv to s3
• Sends a notifaction to SNS to trigger redshiftCopy to load the data into redshift
• Runs every 5 minutes through Cloudwatch (configurable)

redshiftCopy

• Loads a file from S3 into redshift

Requirements:

• terraform installed on the command line, available via PATH
• psql installed on the command line, available via PATH
• AWS Secrets Manager secret for "redshift_secret_name" in variables.tf
  • must contain keys "master_username" and "master_password" for creating redshift cluster
• lambda functions under ./terraform/dist/lambda must have node_modules installed and must be zipped up into lambda_function.zip.
  • Node modules: from the redshiftCopy module directory (where the redshiftCopy.js file is), you can do npm install pg
  • Zip: from the lambda module directories, run zip -r lambda_function.zip .
