Getting Started

Requirements

Notes about the serverless version

Version 0.5.x is required to run several parts of the MoonMail API such as the api and events sub-packages, for these, the root of the repository provides the required s-project.json, s-resources-cf.json and s-templates.json. Find more information about how to handle functions with serverless 0.5 here.

The rest of the services require serverless 1.x and are self-contained. For details on how to manage them, you should follow the instructions provided in their respective README.md

Dependencies

Install serverless 0.5 globally:

yarn global add serverless@0.5.6

Install the root project dependencies:

yarn install

Install the API dependencies:

cd api && yarn install

Install the event processors' dependencies:

cd events && yarn install

Installing the dependencies for the rest of the services follow the same convention. You just need to cd into it and install its dependencies.

Initialize and configure the Serverless 0.5 project

sls project init -c -n your-lower-case-project-name

Configure the s-variables-<stage>-<region>.json files inside the _meta directory by providing the required variables.

Deployment

Servereless 0.5 resources

Create all the needed resources in your AWS account:

sls resources deploy

Deploy all the Lambda functions:

sls function deploy

Deploy MoonMail events:

sls event deploy

Create the API Gateway endpoints:

sls endpoint deploy

Troubleshooting:

Due to the amount of resources it might be difficult to deploy everything at once. It's totally fine to cd into sub-directories of api or events and perform the above mentioned actions in order to reduce the scope of deployments. Also, using the dash deploy subcommand might be useful when deploying independent functions. Aside from that, there are some functions depending on serverless 0.5 which require NodeJS > 4.3. For those, you will have to change the runtime version through the AWS Lambda Console because it's not supported to do so through Serverless on this version.

If the above doesn't solve your issues, there are a couple of things you should double check:

1.- Your current Serverless version (different parts of the project require different versions), this is how you can do it:

sls --version

2.- You have provided all the required variables in the _meta directory.

3.- An admin.env file should exist in the root of the project containing the AWS profile to be used by the deployments (this only applies for the function and resources depending on sls@0.5). Here is an example of what it should look like:

AWS_DEV_PROFILE=moonmail-dev
AWS_PROD_PROFILE=moonmail-prod  

4.- The provided profile in admin.env should exist in your ~/.aws/credentials

Serverless 1.x resources

To configure and deploy these, you will have to follow the instructions provided in their respective README.md
