[RFC] HTTP CRUD API

[fredericbarthelet]

The goal of this discussion is to get feedback on the "HTTP CRUD API" component.

If you are new to Lift, a quick intro: it's a Serverless plugin that can be installed via npm and enabled in any serverless.yml file.

Here is what we are planning so far.

Use case

Providing an easy, compute-free, HTTP REST API with CRUD endpoints to manage resources.

Quick start

# serverless.yml

# [...]

crud: // TBC

This exemple will create an API Gateway REST API, a DynamoDB table, and an IAM role to allow API Gateway to perform operations on the DynamoDB table.

How it works

API Gateway will handle:

• Input validation on provided body, query param
• Routing of various CRUD methods
• Transformation of HTTP requests made to API Gateway into requests formatted for DynamoDB using request templates
• Unmarshalling of DynamoDB responses in HTTP responses using response templates

What's included

// TBC

Feedback is welcome, just post a reply to this discussion 🙏
