README

Serverless Go Demo

This is a simple serverless application built in Golang. It consists of an API Gateway backed by four Lambda functions and a DynamoDB table for storage.

This single project will create five different binaries, one for each Lambda function. It uses an hexagonal architecture pattern to decouple the entry points, from the main domain logic, the storage component, and the event bus component.

🏗️ Deployment and testing

Requirements

• Go
• The AWS SAM CLI for deploying to the cloud
• Artillery for load-testing the application

Commands

You can use the following commands at the root of this repository to test, build, and deploy this project:

# Run unit tests
make tests-unit

# Compile and prepare Lambda functions
make build

# Deploy the functions on AWS
make deploy

# Run integration tests against the API in the cloud
make tests-integ

Load Test

Artillery is used to make 300 requests / second for 10 minutes to our API endpoints. You can run this with the following command:

make tests-load

CloudWatch Logs Insights

Using this CloudWatch Logs Insights query you can analyse the latency of the requests made to the Lambda functions.

The query separates cold starts from other requests and then gives you p50, p90 and p99 percentiles.

The times bellow were obtained while running the sample code with 128MB of RAM and arm64 architecture.

filter @type="REPORT"
| fields greatest(@initDuration, 0) + @duration as duration, ispresent(@initDuration) as coldStart
| stats count(*) as count, pct(duration, 50) as p50, pct(duration, 90) as p90, pct(duration, 99) as p99, max(duration) as max by coldStart
