serverless-discovery-sdk-js

The last serverless micro-service you'll ever wonder how to find

The AWS Serverless Discovery SDK interacts with a discovery microservice to discover endpoints for micro-services written for a serverless architecture. This is similar to clustered services such as Consul or ZooKeeper, but without the concept of instances or nodes that must be monitored for online state. This library is designed to support use both on the server side (for service-to-service lookups) and on the browser/client side.

This project contains the Typescript/Javascript bindings for the discovery service; Other bindings can be found in the AdAstraDev organization on GitHub

Installation

npm install @adastradev/serverless-discovery-sdk

Usage

Environmental

Configured Dependencies

Semver versioning is supported by the discovery service 1.1.x. Pass a semver compatible value in the lookupService call to receive the newest compatible matching version. Services and their desired versions can also be specified in your package.json file. Enter the values in a cloudDependencies section, and populate it in the same format as the standard dependencies section. When using the cloudDependencies method, only the service name needs to be provided in the lookupService call.

{
  "cloudDependencies": {
    "service1": "1.x.x",
    "service2": "^1.2.8"
  }
}

Version Postfix values

In some testing environments, it can be useful to modify the lookup version to avoid collision with a production environment. For example, the service "foo" with version "1.0.0" can instead query version "1.0.0-staging". To enable this feature at runtime, set the environment variable VERSION_POSTFIX to the desired value. In this case it would be set to -staging. This can especially be useful when using cloudDependencies to select service versions.

Javascript

var DiscoverySdk = require('@adastradev/serverless-discovery-sdk').DiscoverySdk;
var sdk = new DiscoverySdk('https://abcdefghij.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod', 'us-east-1');

var endpoints = await sdk.lookupService('my-service-name');

TypeScript

import { DiscoverySdk } from '@adastradev/serverless-discovery-sdk';
const sdk: DiscoverySdk = new DiscoverySdk('https://abcdefghij.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod', 'us-east-1');

const endpoints = await sdk.lookupService('my-service-name');
