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 🙏

Serverless Create DynamoDB Global Tables For CF Stack

A Serverless plugin that will add a global table and replica region for all tables deployed in a serverless stack.

DynamoDB currently imposes some strict limitations when creating global tables:

  • The table provisioning settings must match for each regional table
  • The table names must match
  • Streams must be enabled
  • All tables must be empty
  • If a replica table is removed from a global table it can not be added again. You can however drop the table and recreate it to add it to global replication.

The plugin handles these limitation by enabling global replication for all tables defined in the serverless stack and thus tying the global tables lifecycle to the table resources defined in the stack. Adding and removing tables from the stack will add and remove them from replication.

Install

$ npm install serverless-create-dynamodb-global-tables-for-cf-stack --save-dev

Add the plugin to your serverless.yml file:

plugins:
  - serverless-create-dynamodb-global-tables-for-cf-stack

Usage

Simply deploy your stack to each region you wish to add to the replication group. Remove your stack from each region that you no longer want in replication.

serverless deploy --region us-east-1
serverless deploy --region eu-west-1

When you add/remove table resources from your serverless stack they will also be added/removed from global replication but you will need to redeploy your stack to each region.

Disabling

The plugin is enabled by default. You can disable the plugin via config. You may want to do this in certain environments for example.

custom:
  createDynamoDBGlobalTables:
    enabled: ${self:custom.variables.${self:custom.variables.stage}.enabled}

Disabling the plugin after deploying the stack will have no effect on global tables that were previously deployed. This is due to the previously mentioned limitations of dyanmodb global tables.
