Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

cfn-cloudwatch-events-target

Purpose

AWS CloudFormation does not support AWS CloudWatch Events Targets. This is a Lambda-backed custom resource to add support for AWS CloudWatch Events Targets to CloudFormation.

This package on NPM
This package on GitHub

Implementation

This Lambda makes use of the Lambda-Backed CloudFormation Custom Resource flow module, cfn-lambda (GitHub / NPM).

Usage

See ./example.template.json for a sample CloudFormation template. The example uses Condition statements, Parameters, and dynamic ServiceToken generation fully.

The example template also depends on another Custom Resource, cfn-cloudwatch-events-rule. Make sure to install it via npm run cfn-lambda-deploy as described below before trying to use this example template.

"ResourceLogicalIdInResourcesObject": {
  "Type": "Type": "Custom::CloudWatchEventsTarget",
  "Properties": {
    "ServiceToken": "arn:aws:lambda:<cfn-region-id>:<your-account-id>:function:<this-deployed-lambda-name>",

    "Input": "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}", /* Static JSON to pass to TargetArn
                                  Will override InputPath */
    "InputPath": "$.json.path", /* JSONPath expression to extract from event
                                Omitting both this and Input
                                defaults to "$" (whole object) */
    "RuleArn": "SOME_ARN", /* required, update requires replacement */
    "TargetArn": "SOME_ARN" /* required */
  }
}

Installation of the Resource Service Lambda

Using the Provided Instant Install Script

The way that takes 10 seconds...

# Have aws CLI installed + permissions for IAM and Lamdba
$ npm run cfn-lambda-deploy

You will have this resource installed in every supported Region globally!

Using the AWS Console

... And the way more difficult way.

IMPORTANT: With this method, you must install this custom service Lambda in each AWS Region in which you want CloudFormation to be able to access the CloudWatchEventsTarget custom resource!

  1. Go to the AWS Lambda Console Create Function view:
  1. Zip this repository into /tmp/CloudWatchEventsTarget.zip

    $ cd $REPO_ROOT && zip -r /tmp/CloudWatchEventsTarget.zip;

  2. Enter a name in the Name blank. I suggest: CfnLambdaResouce-CloudWatchEventsTarget

  3. Enter a Description (optional).

  4. Toggle Code Entry Type to "Upload a .ZIP file"

  5. Click "Upload", navigate to and select /tmp/CloudWatchEventsTarget.zip

  6. Set the Timeout under Advanced Settings to 10 sec

  7. Click the Role dropdown then click "Basic Execution Role". This will pop out a new window.

  8. Select IAM Role, then select option "Create a new IAM Role"

  9. Name the role lambda_cfn_elasticsearch_domain (or something descriptive)

  10. Click "View Policy Document", click "Edit" on the right, then hit "OK"

  11. Copy and paste the ./execution-policy.json document.

  12. Hit "Allow". The window will close. Go back to the first window if you are not already there.

  13. Click "Create Function". Finally, done! Now go to Usage or see the example template. Next time, stick to the instant deploy script.
