How to setup AWS AppSync GraphQL Backend and test using Live Lambda Development

Install AWS CLI.

Configure your AWS cli with the credentials

$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Default region name [None]: us-west-1
Default output format [None]: json

If you are doing first time setup create your new branch if you havn't already. (Skip this step if you already have a branch)

{branch-name} = <your-first-name>+<first-letter-of-lastname> eg - sumij

{stage-name} = boossti-backend-{branch-name} eg - boossti-backend-sumij

Create your branch

git checkout -b {branch-name}

Install mongodb shell then run these commands

mongodump --uri mongodb+srv://<mongodb-username>:<mongodb-password>@codemarket-staging.k16z7.mongodb.net/boossti-backend-vivekt

mongorestore --uri mongodb+srv://<mongodb-username>:<mongodb-password>@codemarket-staging.k16z7.mongodb.net --db=<your-stage-name> dump/boossti-backend-vivekt

Use the package manager yarn to install dependecies.(Don't use npm install)

yarn install

Duplicate .env.example and rename to .env and add your MONGO_USERNAME and MONGO_PASSWORD

Starts the local Lambda development environment.(for local testing always use {repository-name}-{your-branchname} eg boossti-backend-sumij)

npx sst start --stage {repository-name}-{your-branchname}

example - npx sst start --stage boossti-backend-sumij

Runs your tests using Jest. Takes all the Jest CLI options.

yarn test

Deploy all your stacks to AWS. Or optionally deploy a specific stack. (for deploy always use {repository-name}-{your-branchname} eg boossti-backend-sumij)

npx sst deploy --stage {repository-name}-{your-branchname}

example - npx sst deploy --stage boossti-backend-sumij

Remove all your stacks and all of their resources from AWS. Or optionally remove a specific stack.

1 Remove Stack

npx sst remove --stage {repository-name}-{your-branchname}

example - npx sst remove --stage boossti-backend-sumij
