AWS Aurora serverless mysql, Cognito, Lambda, API gateway, CloudFormation starter

Question

I was hoping to find a clear guide or an example on how to setup a serverless backend with the following technologies:

• Serverless framework
• AWS Aurora Serverless (mysql or postgres)
• AWS Cognito
• AWS Lambda
• AWS API Gateway
• CloudFormation scripts for (creating the above resources)
• Node/Express.js

Unfortunately, so far most of the resources I have come across have been either simplistic or ambiguous. And the ones that were not were focused on using just DyanmoDB. I was hoping to find a starter project with all the above technologies (especially Aurora serverless and NOT DynamoDB). Please share if you know.

Answer 1

I have recently been working on something like this and it covers some of the technologies that you're talking about, specifically:

• Serverless
• Api Gateway
• Serverless Aurora (Postgres)
• AWS Lambda
• Cloudformation (VPC)

You could potentially use this serverless.yml as a starting point: https://github.com/Compulsed/blog/blob/master/backend/serverless.yml
