Serverless Go Demo
This is a simple serverless application built in Golang. It consists of an API Gateway backed by four Lambda functions and a DynamoDB table for storage.
This single project will create five different binaries, one for each Lambda function. It uses an hexagonal architecture pattern to decouple the entry points, from the main domain logic, the storage component, and the event bus component.

Deployment and testing
Requirements
- Go
- The AWS SAM CLI for deploying to the cloud
- Artillery for load-testing the application
Commands
You can use the following commands at the root of this repository to test, build, and deploy this project:
# Run unit tests
make tests-unit
# Compile and prepare Lambda functions
make build
# Deploy the functions on AWS
make deploy
# Run integration tests against the API in the cloud
make tests-integ
Load Test
Artillery is used to make 300 requests / second for 10 minutes to our API endpoints. You can run this with the following command:
make tests-load
CloudWatch Logs Insights
Using this CloudWatch Logs Insights query you can analyse the latency of the requests made to the Lambda functions.
The query separates cold starts from other requests and then gives you p50, p90 and p99 percentiles.
filter @type="REPORT"
| fields greatest(@initDuration, 0) + @duration as duration, ispresent(@initDuration) as coldStart
| stats count(*) as count, pct(duration, 50) as p50, pct(duration, 90) as p90, pct(duration, 99) as p99, max(duration) as max by coldStart
