A complete, serverless, full-stack application built on AWS Lambda, AWS HTTP API, Express.js, React and DynamoDB.
Live Demo: https://www.serverless-fullstack-app.com
Clone this repo.
Run npm i in all subdirectories that contain package.json
Add your AWS credentials in .env file in the root directory, like this:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=JAFJ89109JASFKLJASF
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=AJ91J9A0SFA0S9FSKAFLASJFLJ
tokenSecret=yourSecretKey
# Only add this if you want a custom domain. Purchase it on AWS Route53 in your target AWS account first.
domain=serverless-fullstack-app.com
In the root folder of the project, run serverless deploy --all
Lastly, you will need to update the URL in the site so that you interact with the correct API endpoint. Take the /api url and put it in the site React app here.
Note: Upon the first deployment of your website, it will take a 2-3 minutes for the Cloudfront (CDN) URL to work. Until then, you can access it via the bucketUrl.
After initial deployment, we recommend deploying only the parts you are changing, not the entire thing together (why risk deploying your database with a code change?). To do this, cd into a part of the application and run serverless deploy.
When working on the ./api we highly recommend using serverless dev. This command watches your code, auto-deploys it, and streams console.log() statements and errors directly to your CLI in real-time!
If you want to add custom domains to your landing pages and API, either hardcode them in your serverless.yml or reference them as environment variables in serverless.yml, like this:
inputs:
domain: ${env:domain}domain=serverless-fullstack-app.com
Support for stages is built in.
You can deploy everything or individual components to different stages via the --stage flag, like this:
serverless deploy --stage prod
serverless deploy --all --stage prod
Or, you can hardcode the stage in serverless.yml (not recommended):
app: fullstack
component: express@0.0.20
name: fullstack-api
stage: prod # Put the stage in hereLastly, you can add separate environment variables for each stage using .env files with the stage name in them:
.env # Any stage
.env.dev # "dev" stage only
.env.prod # "prod" stage onlyThen simply reference those environment variables using Serverless Variables in your YAML:
app: fullstack
component: express@0.0.20
name: fullstack-api
inputs:
domain: api.${env:domain}And deploy!
serverless deploy --stage prod
Enjoy! This is a work in progress and we will continue to add funcitonality to this.
