AWS Resources - APIs
Nitric APIs are deployed to AWS using Amazon API Gateway.
AWS Resources
The following resources are created when deploying APIs to AWS:
- API Gateway v2 HTTP APIs
- API Gateway v2 Stages
- API Gateway Integration
- Lambda Functions
- ECR Images
- IAM Policies
Deployment
During deployment the Nitric CLI builds your API's routes, methods and handlers:
- Files referenced by the
services
key in thenitric.yaml
file are built into container images - Built container images are pushed to the Amazon Elastic Container Registry as private images
- Functions in AWS Lambda are created to run the container images
- All route/handler mappings are built into an Open API v3 definition file (as required by Amazon API Gateway)
- Lambda ARNs are injected into the API definition using the x-amazon-apigateway-integration object, creating an API Gateway Integration for each.
- The API definition is deployed as an API Gateway v2 HTTP API, using the
$default
stage name - IAM policies are created enabling API Gateway to execute the Lambdas
