Go Serverless

GoFormation for users wishing to transfer to serverless!

GoFormation is a Go library for working with AWS CloudFormation / AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) templates.

AWS GoFormation

Main features

Describe Serverless templates as Go objects (structs), and then turn it into YAML.

Installation

As with other Go libraries, GoFormation can be installed with go get.

$ go get github.com/thepauleh/goserverless/serverless

Usage

Marshalling Serverless with Go structs, into YAML

Below is an example of building a CloudFormation template programmatically, then outputting the resulting JSON

package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/thepauleh/goserverless/serverless"
)
func main() {
	// Create a new CloudFormation template
    template := serverless.NewTemplate("myService")
    
    template.Service = "myService"
    template.Provider = &serverless.Provider{
        Name: "aws",
        Runtime: "nodejs6.10",
        MemorySize: 512,
        Timeout: 10,
        VersionFunctions: false
    }
	// An example function
	template.Functions["users"] = &serverless.AWSServerlessFunction{
		Handler: "service.o",
        Name:   "${self:provider.stage}-users",
        Description: "Description of what the lambda function does",
        Runtime: "go1.x",
        MemorySize: 128,
        ReservedConcurrency: 5,
        Timeout: 30,
		Events: []serverless.Events{
			serverless.HttpEvent{
				Path: "users/create",
				Method: "post",
			},
		},
	}
	y, err := template.YAML()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Failed to generate YAML: %s\n", err)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", string(y))
	}
}

Would output the following YAML template:

service: myService
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  memorySize: 512
  timeout: 10
  versionFunctions: false
functions:
  users:
    handler: service.o 
    name: ${self:provider.stage}-users
    description: Description of what the lambda function does
    runtime: go1.x
    memorySize: 128
    timeout: 30
    reservedConcurrency: 5
    events:
      - http:
          path: users/create
          method: post
