Overview

This AWS Solutions Construct implements an Amazon API Gateway REST API defined by an OpenAPI specification file connected to an AWS Lambda function.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition.

NOTE The referenced openapi/apiDefinition.yaml openapi definition file and messages-lambda lambda package directory for the three code samples below can both be found under this constructs test folder (<repository_root>/source/patterns/@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-openapigateway-lambda/test)

import { OpenApiGatewayToLambda } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-openapigateway-lambda';
import { Asset } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3-assets';
import * as path from 'path';
import * as lambda from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda';

const apiDefinitionAsset = new Asset(this, 'ApiDefinitionAsset', {
  path: path.join(__dirname, 'openapi/apiDefinition.yaml')
});

new OpenApiGatewayToLambda(this, 'OpenApiGatewayToLambda', {
  apiDefinitionAsset,
  apiIntegrations: [
    {
      id: 'MessagesHandler',
      lambdaFunctionProps: {
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,
        handler: 'index.handler',
        code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__dirname}/messages-lambda`),

});

Pattern Construct Props

| Name | Type | Description | |:-------------|:----------------|-----------------| |apiGatewayProps?|apigateway.RestApiBaseProps|Optional user-provided props to override the default props for the API.| |apiDefinitionBucket?|s3.IBucket|S3 Bucket where the OpenAPI spec file is located. When specifying this property, apiDefinitionKey must also be specified.| |apiDefinitionKey?|string|S3 Object name of the OpenAPI spec file. When specifying this property, apiDefinitionBucket must also be specified.| |apiDefinitionAsset?|aws_s3_assets.Asset|Local file asset of the OpenAPI spec file.| |apiIntegrations|ApiIntegration[]|One or more key-value pairs that contain an id for the api integration and either an existing lambda function or an instance of the LambdaProps. Please see the Overview of how the OpenAPI file transformation works section below for more usage details.| |logGroupProps?|logs.LogGroupProps|User provided props to override the default props for for the CloudWatchLogs LogGroup.|

Pattern Properties

Overview of how the OpenAPI file transformation works

This construct automatically transforms an incoming OpenAPI Definition (residing locally or in S3) by auto-populating the uri fields of the x-amazon-apigateway-integration integrations with the resolved value of the backing lambda functions. It does so by allowing the user to specify the apiIntegrations property and then correlates it with the api definition.

Looking at an example - a user creates an instantiation of apiIntegrations that specifies one integration named MessagesHandler that passes in a set of lambda.FunctionProps and a second integration named PhotosHandler that passes in an existing lambda.Function:

const apiIntegrations: ApiIntegration[] = [
  {
    id: 'MessagesHandler',
    lambdaFunctionProps: {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__dirname}/messages-lambda`),
    }
  },
  {
    id: 'PhotosHandler',
    existingLambdaObj: new lambda.Function(this, 'PhotosLambda', {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__dirname}/photos-lambda`),
    })
  }
]

And a corresponding api definition with GET and POST methods on a /messages resource and a GET method on a /photos resource.

openapi: "3.0.1"
info:
  title: "api"
  version: "2023-02-20T20:46:08Z"
paths:
  /messages:
    get:
      x-amazon-apigateway-integration:
        httpMethod: "POST"
        uri: MessagesHandler
        passthroughBehavior: "when_no_match"
        type: "aws_proxy"
    post:
      x-amazon-apigateway-integration:
        httpMethod: "POST"
        uri: MessagesHandler
        passthroughBehavior: "when_no_match"
        type: "aws_proxy"
  /photos:
    get:
      x-amazon-apigateway-integration:
        httpMethod: "POST"
        uri: PhotosHandler
        passthroughBehavior: "when_no_match"
        type: "aws_proxy"

When the construct is created or updated, it will overwrite the MessagesHandler string with the fully resolved lambda proxy uri of the MessagesHandlerLambdaFunction, e.g., arn:${Aws.PARTITION}:apigateway:${Aws.REGION}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${messagesLambda.functionArn}/invocations, and similarly for the PhotosHandler string and PhotosHandlerLambdaFunction, resulting in a valid OpenAPI spec file that is then passed to the SpecRestApi construct.

For more information on specifying an API with OpenAPI, please see the OpenAPI Specification

ApiIntegration Details

This construct defines a custom type, ApiIntegration, that is specified as a required prop. The type has a required property, id, and two optional properties existingLambdaObj and lambdaFunctionProps. The id property is used to map the corresponding lambda function being defined with the placeholder string in the OpenAPI template file, and is not a CDK construct ID. Exactly one of existingLambdaObj or lambdaFunctionProps must be specified or the construct will throw an error.

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

Amazon API Gateway

• Deploy an edge-optimized API endpoint
• Enable CloudWatch logging for API Gateway
• Configure least privilege access IAM role for API Gateway
• Enable X-Ray Tracing

AWS Lambda Function

• Configure limited privilege access IAM roles for Lambda functions
• Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda functions
• Enable X-Ray Tracing
• Set Environment Variables
  • AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)
