AWS SNS - Lambda Slack integration written in Go

Using (just recently) released official support for Go in lambda. Inspired by terranova's article.

Install

• start with dep ensure

Follow steps in aws manual:

1. GOOS=linux go build -o main
2. zip deployment.zip main

• upload this file in lambda function setup
• make sure you specify ENV variable WEBHOOK_URL with appropriate slack webhook URL
• configure lambda trigger as SNS

My usecase

AWS Healhcheck integration with slack, where Healthcheck sends notifications to the SNS which triggers the lambda.
