Temporal AWS SDK

⚠️ This code is an experiment: Absolutely no guarantee of backwards compatibility

This repository is a prototype of generated Temporal activities and workflow stubs for all AWS APIs exposed by AWS Go SDK.

Generated activities and stubs are in Go at this point. Java SDK has to call them by string name until Java activity interface generation is added.

This repository relies on the temporal-aws-sdk-generator.

Generated Code

activities package contains generated code for activities that call AWS APIs through AWS Go SDK.

clients package contains generated code that workflows can use to call these activities in a strongly typed manner.

Regenerating Code

Update a template in templates directory and run:

make bins

to regenerate and compile the generated code.

Templates

Templates that are used for code generation are located in templates directory. They use Go text/template package. Each template is invoked with AWSSDKDefinition structure as a parameter. A template file must call SetFileName function at the beginning to specify the output file name. It is allowed to call SetFileName multiple times to generate multiple files from the same template.

Running Temporal AWS SDK Activities

To run Temporal AWS SDK activities:

Create ~/.aws/credentials file with aws access key id and secret or set corresponding environment variables. The basic credentials file format:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <SECRET>

See AWS Go SDK documentation for details. Set AWS_REGION environment variable. Another option is to set AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG variable to true and set Region config value.

Samples

S3 List Bucket

samples/s3list directory contains very simple example of a workflow that lists S3 buckets under an account. The sample assumes that AWS SDK activities are already running.

bin/samples/s3list

EC2 Instance

samples/ec2demo directory contains an example of a workflow that launches an EC2 instance and keeps restarting it when terminated. The sample assumes that AWS SDK activities are already running.

To start workflow worker:

bin/samples/ec2demo-worker

To initiate workflow

bin/samples/ec2demo-starter
