Node.js to AWS Lambda Function Deployment
This application type is designed to deploy your Node.js source code as an AWS Lambda function, enabling a serverless environment to handle your application logic with scalability and cost efficiency.
Application Features
- Application Overview: Deploy your Node.js source code as an AWS Lambda function using this template.
- Lambda Configs: The lambda configs are added when creating the lambda function.
- Pipelines: The Node.js application is built and packaged for deployment to Lambda.
- Security Scans: The code is scanned for vulnerabilities before deployment.
- Environment Variables: Configure Lambda-specific environment variables within the application settings.
Getting Started
Choose Application Type
Navigate to the Applications section of your project. Click on the + Create Application button to create a new application. Select Node.js to AWS Lambda Function application type from the catalog.
Fill General Details
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Name of the Application. This has to be unique across your project and should not contain special characters. | nodejs-lambda-app |
| Description | Provide a meaningful description for your application | This is a Lambda function. |
Authenticate
This template needs the source code to build and deploy the application. Authenticate with GitHub to connect an existing repository for the application.
Select Repository
Select the GitHub repository containing your Node.js application code.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Github Account | Your Github Organization / Account |
| Repository | The repository which holds the application code |
| Branch | Default branch for the repository. main is usually the default branch. Pipeline YAMLs will be stored here. |
Configure Pipeline Triggers
Set up the triggers for your deployment pipeline, including events such as push or specific branch updates.
| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| On | Pipeline Trigger Event | push |
| Branches | Multiple inputs for branch names or a regex. (Optional) | main |
| Tags | Multiple inputs for tag names or a regex (Optional) | |
| Paths | To trigger on specific path changes in a repository (Optional) |
Each environment will have a different set of triggers. You can configure the triggers for each environment. Learn more in the Pipelines section.
Add Lambda configurations
Define any environment variables needed by your Lambda function. These variables will be securely stored and injected into the function at runtime.
