Heroku has done just that by making deploying a Docker application simple with the execution of a few command lines. I am going to walk through the steps to deploy a simple Node.js application to Heroku with docker.
(more…)In Part 1 and Part 2 of this walk through, I built a simple AWS Lambda function in Node to accept a form post. I this post, the API endpoint will be modified to accept a SMS message from Twilio, save the message to a DynamoDB and respond with an SMS message.
If you are just interested in the code, that can be found on my GitHub Repository.
(more…)In Part 1, I walked through the process of creating and deploying an AWS Lambda function and API Gateway using AWS CloudFormation. In this post, I will walk though the steps to store POST data to a DynamoDB. The final goal of this project is to allow an AWS Lambda function to receive SMS messages from Twilio. The third post will complete the project from end-to-end when it is written.
