Ever wanted to be notified in Slack when somebody scored a goal in the World Cup? No? Well, that's also fine - this was made mostly to play around with Go and Lambda, so no harm done. But in case you are interested - read on!
The project is made of two AWS Lambda functions:
goal-checker, which runs every minute, checks for scored goals in currently played matches and saves them to a DynamoDB tablegoal-notifier, which is triggered on DynamoDB table item creation and sends a notification to the configured Slack webhook(s)
The third piece of it all is worldcup - a very simple API wrapper I made for
http://worldcup.sfg.io/. I may put it in a separate repository after I
implement all endpoints, but I decided to leave it here at the moment.
Given the serverless nature of this project and usage of the awesome
Serverless framework, the entire deploy comes up to running
serverless deploy - 🎉.
If you never used it, then I'd recommend at least skimming through its
AWS docs, but the only thing you need to set up
locally are the AWS credentials and the Slack
webhook URL exported as a SLACK_WEBHOOK_URLS environment variable
(it supports multiple comma separated URLs).
So, all in all, it should look similar to:
$ # Setup
$ npm install serverless -g
$ serverless config credentials --provider aws --key FOO --secret BAR
$ export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URLS='https://hooks.slack.com/services/...'
$ git clone https://github.com/pawelad/just-scored && cd just-scored
$ make build
$ # Deployment
$ serverless deployAnd if you want to go all the way, you can fork this repository and plug it into CircleCI - it will use the existing config I built, which implements a full CI / CD pipeline. It runs tests on each push and deploys the app on each version tag.
