Serverless REST API in Java/Maven using DynamoDB

The sample serverless service will create a REST API. It will be deployed to AWS. The data will be stored in a DynamoDB table.

Install Pre-requisites

node and npm
Install the JDK and NOT the Java JRE from Oracle JDK. And set the following: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.jdk/Contents/Home
Apache Maven. After downloading and installing Apache Maven, please add the apache-maven-x.x.x folder to the PATH environment variable.

Test Pre-requisites

Test Java installation:

$ java --version

jopenjdk 11.0.14 2022-01-18 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.14.9.1 (build 11.0.14+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.14.9.1 (build 11.0.14+9-LTS, mixed mode)

Test Maven installation:

$ mvn -v

Apache Maven 3.8.1 (05c21c65bdfed0f71a2f2ada8b84da59348c4c5d)
Maven home: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/maven/3.8.1/libexec
Java version: 11.0.14, vendor: Amazon.com Inc., runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-11.0.14/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_BD, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "12.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Build the Java project

Create the java artifact (jar) by:

$ cd aws-lambda-serverless
$ mvn clean install

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]
[INFO] --------------------< org.awslambda:pushnotification >---------------------
[INFO] Building pushnotification dev
[INFO] --------------------------------[ jar ]---------------------------------
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:2.5:clean (default-clean) @ pushnotification ---

...
...

We can see that we have an artifact in the target folder named pushnotification-dev.jar.

Test the API

Let's invoke each of the four functions that we created as part of the app.

Register User Device

$ curl -X POST https://xxxxxxxxx.execute-api.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/dev/user/subscription -d '{
    "UserId": "2",
    "DeviceId": "7384658734443685734",

    "IsActive": true
}'

{
    "partitionKey": "UserDeviceToken#UserId,2;DeviceId,7384658734443685734;Token,34878934653gf3434764578463587634;IsActive,true",

List User Device

$ curl https://xxxxxxxxx.execute-api.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/dev/user/{id}/subscriptions

[
    {
        "partitionKey": "UserDeviceToken#UserId,2;DeviceId,7384658734443685734;Token,34878934653gf3434764578463587634;IsActive,true",
