Deploy
Description
One of the great things about this library is that it can be deployed to serverless environments. It's super small footprint makes it lightning fast to load, even on cold starts.
The basic use case is simple: we simply need to forward request from some API to our read/write models.
Let's give it a shot using Express:
app.js
1
const {
2
readModel,
3
writeModel,
4
} = require('./src')
5
​
6
const express = require('express')
7
const app = express()
8
​
9
app.use(express.json())
10
​
11
app.get('/:id', (req, res, next) => {
12
readModel.getById({
13
id: req.params.id,
14
})
15
.then(obj => {
16
if (!obj) throw new Error('Not Found')
17
res.json(obj)
18
})
19
.catch(next)
20
})
21
​
22
app.post('/', (req, res, next) => {
23
writeModel.addTodo(req.body.id, {
24
title: req.body.title,
25
})
26
.then(res.json.bind(res))
27
.catch(next)
28
})
29
​
30
app.use(function(error, req, res, next) {
31
console.log(error)
32
res.status(500).json({ message: error.message });
33
});
34
​
35
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))
Copied!
Or we can use GraphQL, which works really nicely with our setup. Mutations map directly to the write model and Queries to the read model.
app.js
1
const { GraphQLServer } = require('graphql-yoga')
2
const {
3
readModel,
4
writeModel,
5
} = require('./src')
6
​
7
const typeDefs = `
8
type Todo {
9
title: String!
10
completed: Boolean
11
}
12
​
13
type TodoList {
14
id: ID!
15
todos: [Todo]
16
}
17
​
18
type Query {
19
getById(id: ID!): TodoList
20
}
21
​
22
type Mutation {
23
addTodo(id: ID!, title: String!): Boolean
24
}
25
`
26
​
27
const resolvers = {
28
Mutation: {
29
addTodo: (_, { id, title }) => {
30
return writeModel.addTodo(id, { title })
31
},
32
},
33
Query: {
34
getById: (_, { id }) => {
35
return readModel.getById({ id })
36
},
37
},
38
}
39
​
40
const server = new GraphQLServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })
41
server.start(() => console.log('Server is running on localhost:4000'))

We're really not doing very much in either of these examples, we simply forward requests from the API to our read or write model. In the case of GraphQL, it's a bit more explicit.

The AWS Free Tier covers most of these services, but running an ElasticSearch instance on AWS can be expensive. Make sure to run
serverless remove once you're done.Now let's modify the example above to have it work on AWS Lambda
app.js
1
const express = require('express')
2
const serverless = require('serverless-http')
3
// ^ add this
4
​
5
/// ...same contents as above
6
​
7
module.exports.handler = serverless(app)
8
// ^ add this
9
​
10
// app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))
11
// ^ remove this
Copied!
Examples
The domain in these examples also contain the commands
completeTodo and removeTodo.Last modified 1yr ago
