Introduction to Rise Functions

Rise Functions is a CLI which takes a rise.mjs file, and deploys AWS Lambda functions into your AWS account. All lambda functions are located in a /functions folder. The goal of rise functions is to make building AWS Lambda functions as simple and straight forward as possible.

Install

npm i -g rise-functions

Usage

Deploy

rise-functions deploy

Project Structure

A project as the following structure:

/functions
    myFunctionA.mjs
    myFunctionB.mjs
    myFunctionC.mjs
rise.mjs

If your function requires multiple files, or node_modules, functions can also be defined inside folders.

/functions
    /myFunctionA
        util.mjs
        index.mjs
    /myFunctionB
        /node_modules
        util.mjs
        index.mjs
rise.mjs

What is the rise.mjs file for?

The rise.mjs file is for configuring your project. In order to treat this as a rise functions project, type must be set to functions in this config. Here is an example:

module.exports = {
    type: 'functions',
    name: 'nameOfMyProject'
}

The only required parameter is the name. This will be used to name:

• the s3 bucket where your code will be uploaded
• lambda functions
• iam roles

What CLI flags are available?

You can set the region and stage of your deployment like so:

focus deploy --stage=qa --region=us-east-2
