The CAT Api

Deployment to AWS using AWS CDK and Github Actions

---

Author: Edvinas Bosas

---

This creates a REST API with:

• DynamoDB Table
• 4 Lambda Functions
• 4 API Gateway Endpoints, each associated with a different Lambda function:
  • POST /create
  • GET /list
  • PUT /update
  • DELETE /delete

---

Expected incoming JSON structure for /create and /update endpoints

Required headers: Content-Type: application/json

• POST /create:

  {
      "name": "string",
      "age": "string",
      "description": "string"
  }

• PUT /update:
  • PUT /update URI must point to a specific cat: PUT /update?id={uuid}

  {
      "name": "string",
      "age": "string",
      "description": "string"
  }

Expected URL parameter structure for /list and /delete endpoints

• /list

  • Simply calling GET /list endpoint returns all cat entries in the database.

  • Calling GET /list?id={uuid} will return a specific cat from the database.

  • {uuid} can be multiple comma seperated values: GET /list?id={uuid1},{uuid2}

• /delete

  • Requires a single {uuid} parameter: DELETE /delete?id={uuid}
