Lambdafai is a simple framework for building and deploying REST APIs using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3. It consists of:

• A library for routing and handling requests with Express-like syntax.
• A command-line tool for creating, testing, and deploying your API.
• A standard library to simplify interacting with AWS services like DynamoDB.
  • Using this library is optional - you can interact directly with the AWS APIs if you want

var lambdafai = require('lambdafai');

lambdafai('hello-world', function(app) {
  var hello = app.lambda({ name: 'hello' });
  hello.get('/hello', function(req, res) {
    res.send('Hello, world!');
  });
});

node index.js create-resources dev

node index.js invoke dev '{path: "/hello"}'

node index.js deploy dev

node index.js promote dev prod

The easiest way to get started is to jump into the Hello World example. This demonstrates how to use Lambdafai in a development workflow using the command-line tool.

The TODO example is a more complete example that demonstrates how to use DynamoDB support and middleware.
