AWS API Gateway V2 HTTP API Quickstart

Quickstart example of using AWS API Gateway v2 HTTP API

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-py-apigatewayv2-http-api-quickcreate
cd pulumi-examples/aws-py-apigatewayv2-http-api-quickcreate

Set up a simple HTTP API using AWS API Gateway V2. The API executes a simple Lambda function found in /app/index.js.

Prerequisites#

  1. Install Pulumi.
  2. Configure Pulumi for AWS.
  3. Install Python.

Deploying and running the program#

Note: some values in this example will be different from run to run. These values are indicated with ***.

  1. Create a new stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init http-api
  2. Set the AWS region:

    $ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2
  3. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

    $ pulumi up
    Previewing update (http-api)
    ...
    Updating (http-api)
    Type Name Status
    + pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-py-apigatewayv2-quickstart-http-api created
    + ├─ aws:iam:Role lambdaRole created
    + ├─ aws:lambda:Function lambdaFunction created
    + ├─ aws:iam:RolePolicyAttachment lambdaRoleAttachment created
    + ├─ aws:apigatewayv2:Api httpApiGateway created
    + └─ aws:lambda:Permission lambdapermission created
    Outputs:
    endpoint: "https://***.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
    Resources:
    + 6 created
    Duration: 22s

    Note: this command will create a virtual environment and restore dependencies automatically as described in Pulumi docs.

  4. View the endpoint URL and curl a few routes:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack output
    Current stack outputs (1):
    OUTPUT VALUE
    endpoint https://***.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
    curl $(pulumi stack output endpoint)
    Hello, Pulumi!
  5. To view the runtime logs of the Lambda function, use the pulumi logs command. To get a log stream, use pulumi logs --follow.

  6. At this point, you have a running HTTP API. Feel free to modify your program, and run pulumi up to redeploy changes. The Pulumi CLI automatically detects what has changed and makes the minimal edits necessary to accomplish these changes. This could be altering the function used by the Lambda, or anything else you’d like!

Clean up#

  1. Run pulumi destroy to tear down all resources.

  2. To delete the stack itself, run pulumi stack rm. Note that this command deletes all deployment history from the Pulumi console.
