Get up early... or burn some money 🔥

Get up early... or burn some money 🔥

Switching from working 100% on-site to fully remote really does not help to get up early. This project will help... or make me homeless. 🤷‍♂️

What this?

This is some small weekend project build with Terraform & Serverless Framework around AWS Lambda with a Twitter API integration.

Main purpose was besides having some coding fun is to punish me regularly if I miss to get up early in the morning, which I do basically every day since march 2020.

• each day I have to check in before the judgement time is reached, else a tweet will be send with a link to the subdomain
• the price is rolled randomly each day and will be between min_price & max_price (for me it's $1 & $25).
• if I miss to check in, the first one to visit the subdomain & submitting his PayPal address will receive the price (this step is manual! 🙃)

How to set up ⛴

Create a config.json file on root and fill out the needed details (have a look on the sample.config.json):

• domain_name - certificate name in ACM (us-west-1), add the certificate name here.
• app_name - the name of the app, which will also be your subdomain
• aws_account_id - your AWS account id. this is just to make sure not to apply your infra to some work account 🤷‍♂️
• api_secret - common secret between client & API
• judgement_time_utc - UTC timestamp as hh:mm at which you want to be ready for work
• min_price - minimum suffering for your PayPal account
• max_price - max suffering
• twitter_consumer_api_key - your consumer API key which you'll find in your Developer Dashboard @ Twitter
• twitter_consumer_api_key_secret - API key Secret for Consumer Key
• twitter_api_access_token - Access Token of your Twitter App
• twitter_api_access_secret - Secret Token of your Twitter App
• twitter_api_bearer_token - Bearer Token for your Twitter App

Also you need to add your environment.prod.ts / environment.ts to app/src/environments with apiSecret (secret from config) as well as backend (URL to backend)

After setting up the details you can do

1. ./go apply-account prod to create the needed infra for the frontend
2. ./go deploy-app to deploy the static frontend
3. ./go deploy-sls to deploy the CloudFormation stack for the API
4. sls create_domain to create the backend custom domain name in API Gateway

With ./go confirm you can check in each day before judgement time is over, so you don't have to pay your friends anything! 🙋‍♂️

Side Notes 💫

Weekend project most probably containing a lot of bugs and nasty code. Also, I'm no frontend expert, so this is really rudimentary. Be kind 🙀🤗
