05/02/2022, 3:28 PMFor values known at synth time (eg a dynamodb table name) I just create the parameter in my stacks code
thdxr
05/02/2022, 3:28 PMI scatter them through my stacks depending on what they're related to
thdxr
05/02/2022, 3:28 PMFor secrets I create + set them in the UI
thdxr
05/02/2022, 3:28 PMfwiw we're planning on making this a first class concept in SST so this is all simplified

05/02/2022, 3:34 PMOk so you create a source component and then set ssm straight after. Then if it needs to be consumed in another stack, you query ssm and pass the results to the consumer component?

05/02/2022, 3:37 PMI load the SSM values inside the function
thdxr
05/02/2022, 3:38 PMI'll send you some examples later for how I do things
thdxr
05/02/2022, 3:39 PMI wrote my own little framework but a better version of it should be integrated into sst directly

05/02/2022, 4:59 PMI'd love to see it. at my cur job they built a cool framework where they create the releases and put the values to the lambda during the CI process, but with SST I don't know if it'd be a good practice

05/02/2022, 6:04 PMOK this is a very rough example (ignore the readme) of my setup: https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/blob/master/examples/v1/parameter-prototype/stacks/MyStack.ts

05/02/2022, 6:05 PMthen you can "use" them in functions - which basically grants the function permission to read it. Inside the function you can use
import { Config } from "@serverless-stack/node/config"thdxr
05/02/2022, 6:06 PMThere's also some codegen in there for getting proper typing
thdxr
05/02/2022, 6:06 PMThis is really rough - if it was more usable it would be in SST core already. But it demonstrates my approach
thdxr
05/02/2022, 6:07 PMWhat's nice about this i sin my unit tests I can run them with SSM_VALUES=* and it'll just load them all so my tests will just have access to everything they need
