Sample serverless blog engine powered by C# Lambda functions

Sample Lambda# Blog

Sample serverless blog engine powered by AWS C# Lambda functions.

This repository shows how to build a sample blog engine using AWS C# lambda functions. The repository uses multiple branches that map from simple to advanced implementations.

Getting Started

To begin, make sure the following tools are installed.

1. Install .NET Core 1.0
2. Install nodejs
3. Install Yeoman npm install -g yo generator-aws-lambda-dotnet
4. Create a IAM user in the AWS console (e.g. lambdasharp)
5. Create a lambdasharp AWS configuration in ~/.aws/credentials

Now you should be ready to publish

Configuration

By default, this sample blog will create the DynamoDB table as part of the CloudFormation template. You can edit src/SampleLambdaBlog/aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json to adjust defaults for publishing. Please review profile and region

BEWARE by default, the API Gateway created by the CloudFormation stack is public and vulnerable to abuse!

Using the SampleLambdaBlog API

You can find the URI for your SampleLambdaBlog API as follows:

1. Open the AWS console
2. Select API Gateway
3. Select SampleLambdaBlog
4. Select Dashboard

The URI will be shown at the top of the page. The URIs in the examples below will NOT WORK for you unless you replace the URI!

Get all published blog posts

The following curl command will return an empty list [] unless a blog entry was added.

curl https://SampleLambdaBlog.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/

Publish a blog post

The following curl command will return the GUID of the new blog entry when it succeeds.

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Name":"John","Content":"What John wrote."}' https://SampleLambdaBlog.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/
