Exploring Pulumi and LocalStack for AWS Development - glowing telegram project - Episode 124
1In this video, I explore how to integrate Pulumi and LocalStack to optimize AWS development workflows. I begin by discussing my aim to create an inline policy that restricts permissions to a particular step function, encountering challenges when handling resource outputs. As I navigate through AWS and Pulumi documentation, I strive to understand how best to pass a resource like an output into the policy document.
I continue by delving into AWS SDK clients in Rust, and setting up the Lambda function to invoke step functions once a file is uploaded to an S3 bucket.
The video further delves into handling environment variables and role associations to ensure the Lambda function executes with the right permissions. I test the entire setup using LocalStack, successfully triggering the Lambda function with an S3 event and ensuring a step function runs as intended.
Later, I explore the possibilities of using Pulumi to programmatically define state machines, akin to using the AWS Cloud Development Kit. Being able to work with resources programmatically is key, as I demonstrate creating reusable components in Pulumi to manage resource accumulation effectively.
I wrap up by discussing further ambitions, like fetching data from the Twitch API using AWS Lambda.
