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 SSM Fetch

Serverless SSM Fetch is an "AWS provider only" plugin that allows to fetch parameters from AWS Store Parameters and assign them to serverless.yml functions environment variables.

Before using this plugin you must have set your parameters into AWS System Manager Parameter Store

NOTE: to use this plugin, the AWS credentials that you use for your project must have permissions for:

  • ssm:Describe*
  • ssm:Get*
  • ssm:List*

Versions

  • For serverless framework v2: use serverless-ssm-fetch@1.x
  • For serverless framework v3: use serverless-ssm-fetch@2.x

Setup

First, you have to set serverless-ssm-fetch plugin by running:

serverless plugin install --name serverless-ssm-fetch

This will install the required npm package and add the plugin to your serverless.yml file.

...

plugins:
  - serverless-ssm-fetch

...

Then, you must declare the SSM Parameters that must be assigned to your functions environment variables.

It consists in key value pairs, where the key is the environment variable name you want to use, and the value is the parameter path you set in AWS System Manager Parameter Store on your AWS account. Example: APP_ID: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_id.

To declare them, use the serverlessSsmFetch accessor inside custom variable in your serverless.yml file. FYI, it also works if you use a nested file for your custom (custom: $(file:./path/to/file)).

...

custom:
  serverlessSsmFetch:
    APP_ID: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_id
    APP_KEY: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_key
    APP_SECRET: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_secret~true

...

Usage

By default, there is nothing more to do if you want all your SSM Parameters injected in all your functions. But of course, you will probably want to assign specific parameters to specific functions. You can specify it on a per function basis this way:

...

custom:
  serverlessSsmFetch:
    APP_ID: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_id
    APP_KEY: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_key
    APP_SECRET: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_secret~true

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    ssmToEnvironment:
      - APP_ID
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV: development

...

This will add ONLY the SSM Parameter APP_ID to the function environment variables. In this case, the function hello will be pushed to AWS Lambda with environment variables NODE_ENV and APP_ID.

Decryption

On AWS Parameters Store you can decide to encrypt parameters when you set them. Meaning that you must decrypt them with your KMS key when you use them within your application.

With serverless-ssm-fetch you can decide to decrypt them at runtime to add the decrypted format of the parameter to your environment variable. It is useful if you don't use an AWS KMS key to decrypt parameters within your app.

To decrypt a parameter you just have to add ~true at the end of your AWS SSM Parameter path:

...

custom:
  serverlessSsmFetch:
    APP_SECRET: /aws/ssm/parameter/path/app_secret~true

...
