AWS Lambda Plugin

Plugin Setup

1. Install the plugin in the packages/app directory

yarn add @roadiehq/backstage-plugin-aws-lambda

2. Add plugin API to the list of plugins:

// packages/app/src/plugins.ts
export { awsLambdaPlugin as AWSLambdaWidget } from '@roadiehq/backstage-plugin-aws-lambda';

3. Add widget component to your Backstage instance:

// packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
import {
  AWSLambdaOverviewWidget,
  isAWSLambdaAvailable
} from '@roadiehq/backstage-plugin-aws-lambda';

...

const OverviewContent = ({ entity }: { entity: Entity }) => (
  <Grid container spacing={3}>
    ...
    {isAWSLambdaAvailable(entity) && (
      <Grid item md={6}>
        <AWSLambdaOverviewWidget entity={entity} />
      </Grid>
    )}
  </Grid>
);

Authentication

In order to perform requests to AWS lambda plugin first asks backend for temporary credentials via /api/aws/credentials

(it uses @roadiehq/backstage-plugin-aws-auth backend plugin)

Regardless of what auth method you use - you can also decide what functions to show in the table (what functions particular service uses) by annotating backstage.yaml with name of the functions separated by comma, like:

metadata:
  annotations:
    aws.com/lambda-function-name: HelloWorld
    aws.com/lambda-region: us-east-1

Make sure you have AWS auth backend plugin installed in your backstage backend (installation guide in the readme https://github.com/RoadieHQ/backstage-plugin-aws-auth)
