Question: Has anyone been using the

kysely-data-api

data provider? If so, how are you finding it? I am keen to use it if ya'll think it's stable enough to do so.

hey everybody. Long time reader, first time poster 🙂 Does anyone have a good example (preferably Typescript) where they utilize an existing RDS database in their stacks? This is what I have tried so far

import * as ec2 from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';
import * as rds from '@aws-cdk/aws-rds';
import * as sst from '@serverless-stack/resources'

import { FixMeLater } from '../src/types/FixMeLater';

export default class RdsStack extends sst.Stack {
  public readonly vpc: FixMeLater
  public readonly rmwDb: FixMeLater

  constructor(scope: <http://sst.App|sst.App>, id: string, props?: sst.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props)

    // Attach to the existing VPC
    this.vpc = ec2.Vpc.fromLookup(this, 'VPC', {
      vpcId: 'vpc-**********'
    })

    // Attach to the existing RM Workspace RDS instance
    this.rmwDb = rds.DatabaseInstance.fromDatabaseInstanceAttributes(this, 'RMWDB', {
      instanceIdentifier: '*******-staging-rds',
      instanceEndpointAddress: '********************.<http://rds.amazonaws.com|rds.amazonaws.com>',
      engine: rds.DatabaseInstanceEngine.postgres({
        version: rds.PostgresEngineVersion.VER_11_12
      }),
      securityGroups: [],
      port: 5432
    })
  }
}

Is it unnecessary to use the Function construct to create lambdas for functions that are included as routes in SST’s Api construct? It looks like the Api construct may be creating a new lambda for each route automatically (e.g. functionnameEndpoint….)

We are suspecting that SST/CDK is force updating the CF Distro on each deploy even when nothing should have changed. Since this process adds 6mins+ to each deploy we’re interested in how best prove that something is indeed changing for the distro and causing the update to it. Is there something we can use like sst diff or cdk diff ?

Question: Does anyone utilising the next.js construct avoid the built in API support by Next.js and instead "roll your own" via the Api construct? I feel like this would keep my Next.js app cleaner whilst also giving me more extensibility around the apis.

Question: How does SST do the lambda bundling? Does it try to inline node deps similar to vercels ncc?

Hey guys, Is there a way to “lookup” an already created ACM certificate? I want to assign an existing certificate to my CFront distribution.

There appear to be limitations around the Live Lambda development environment when running in a VPC. For example, I am using MSK (Kafka) as an event source for Lambda. MSK runs within a VPC, so I must configure my Lambda function to work within the VPC to facilitate that communication. The stub lambda that enables the live-lambda environment lives outside of that VPC, which causes the Kafka->Lambda integration to fail when running

sst start

.

Hey all, I’m having an eslint issue. After upgrading to a version > 0.48, I’m not able to get eslint print error messages properly. I attached a screenshot of what the error output looks like. Note that the errors themselves are not displayed, I’m simply informed that an error exists. But where in my code is the error? Can’t tell. Is the problem with my setup? Or, could it be in SST on this line: https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/blob/9a94a549286483fd2a26ec915e864856d9c39c20/packages/resources/src/App.ts#L429-L438 Here’s my eslintConfig:

"eslintConfig": {

"parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",

"ignorePatterns": ["**/*.js", "**/*/dist", "**/*/node_modules"],

"rules": {

"@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises": ["error"],

I think I may have found a bug in how SST runs StaticSite build commands. In Yarn v1 this worked perfectly…. however, in Yarn v2-3 we’re now getting…

sh: gatsby: command not found

locally if I run

yarn build

(which is the build command we are telling sst to run) then everything works fine. Perhaps this has something to do with how Yarn v2 now handles exposing these depenceny’s bin now? Sound like they are adding the bins to the PATH which I’m guessing maybe SST isn’t making available to the build commands?

What could I be doing wrong here when I’m trying to use an existing EventBus?

import * as sst from "@serverless-stack/resources"
import * as events from '@aws-cdk/aws-events'

new sst.EventBus(this, 'myBus', {
    eventBridgeEventBus: {
      eventBusArn: events.EventBus.fromEventBusArn(this, 'ImportedBus', 'eventBusArn'
     }
})

Seems the same with an example in the docs: https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/EventBus#importing-an-existing-eventbus

When using the appconfig extension you obtain configuration through http://localhost:2772. This of course does not work with live lambda.

Looks like the Api construct does not allow you to pass a

LambdaFunction

as a function type. It has to be a

Function

from sst. However I cannot use sst's

Function

as a type in another construct because it is banned. Am I missing something?

Don't use `Function` as a type. The `Function` type accepts any function-like value.
It provides no type safety when calling the function, which can be a common source of bugs.
It also accepts things like class declarations, which will throw at runtime as they will not be called with `new`.
If you are expecting the function to accept certain arguments, you should explicitly define the function shape

Found a thread from 12 days ago.

What are the biggest priorities for SST / SEED right now? Is Nextjs12 planned for next year?

How do I add caching to my appsync resolvers using the AppSyncApi construct? Previously with serverless I used this plug-in to configure caching:https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin

Hi. A quick one hopefully. But I'm stuck on it :) I'm setting up an ApolloApi in a typescript sst project. I want to import typeDefs from a *.graphql file and pass it in when the server is created. Usually I'd set up the webpack loader from the graphql-tag library for this and it would do the required transforms, but I can't figure out where to set up the webpack loader. Has anyone got this working?

Hello I'm importing a dynamodb table created with terraform with stream enabled and type to NEW_IMAGE. When I try to import the table and add consumers I have this message : "Please enable the "stream" option to add consumers to the "Table" Is there any workaround or do I have to create the table with sst ?

Hello guys. I need to deploy a ReactStaticSite with a

customDomain

property, but just to use Certificate and Alias… I don’t have a “domainName” per se in route 53. But this value is required, can be bypassed?

customDomain: {
        domainName: null,
        alternateNames: [
          '<http://mysite.io|mysite.io>',
        ],
        certificate,
      }

Is there a way to define this null?

Hey guys, I need to expose my eventBridge bus to a legacy PHP application. They want to emit some events there. I’m planning to store the ARN for the bus in SSM, and from PHP they just need to pull that value + a body…. using with AWS SDK for PHP. Is that ok? other ideas?

Question regarding setup CI/CD for a project based on SST. What benefits "seed" CI/CD bring to the table over github actions? Given that SST framework already takes care of incremental deployment, why would someone choose "seed" over github actions.

Howdy all, does the Api construct expose any default environment variables to the underlying lambdas? I am looking for the apiId and region, or the apiEndpoint url. Need to configure a callback in one of the lambdas, and it has to be absolute.

What's a good approach for managing changes to dynamodb tables? I find that it doesn't take much, and I end up in a complete mess. Then I just tear it all down and put it up again. It feels quite cumbersome in development, and it's not going to fly at all for production. In an SQL world, I'd have a starting point, then run migrations from there and use a framework for managing the migrations. Is there any kind of equivalent for Dynamo that integrates nicely? How do people manage the delta between the tables, keys and indexes defined in the stack, and the current state of the deployed dynamo tables? Everything else I think I've been able to live with quite happy, but dynamos lack of flexibility during development I find crippling. At least when I use CDK/SST it seems like let me change more than 1 GSI at a time. Just for some context, I'm working with a GraphQL, schema first approach with a 1:1 mapping to dynamo tables. But making some changes to the schema is painful 😕

It looks like somewhere between v0.48.0 and v0.52.0 the

--port

flag on

sst start

was removed. Was that intentional? Is there any new way to specify the port being used?

Anyone tried to run lots of

sst deploys

in parallel--and hit AWS RATE LIMITS?

Anyone have some favourite CDK examples of using SST with Secrets manager, parameter store, and IAM permissions? For example, passing configuration around between stacks using SSM, and generating specific IAM permissions for ARNs created in other stacks?

Hey guys, My entire stack is written in TypeScript, and my infra done with SST. Now… we hired some machine-learning guys, and they want to use Python… is somebody using a hybrid stack where you have some JS functions living with some other PY functions? Also looking for ideas on how to organize my mono-repo in this situation.

Does SST provide any convenience method/command for invoking local functions directly. I understand and see many examples of using integrated services to trigger the local function via the debug stack (APIGW, SQS, all the other things). But I’m curious if there is a more convenient way when working on initial iterations of a function without any triggers yet. I know I can invoke the stub directly from AWS console or using AWS CLI, but does SST provide any type of local invoke command? I couldn’t find anything in the docs, but figured I would ask here.

Just wanted to mention the traction SST is getting during Serverless sumit 21 - half the stacks people describe in chat/problem resolutions are based on SST :D
