Tailcall on AWS

This repo lets you deploy a Tailcall instance with your own config on AWS (Lambda and API Gateway). The deployment is automatically built and managed by Terraform, and it will use the config in config/config.graphql. The whole config/ directory will be uploaded to AWS, so you can use @link with other files in the directory.

First setup

1. Install Terraform.
2. Create an access key on AWS, and set your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.
3. Open this repo on GitHub, click on "Use this template" to create a new repository with it, and clone it to your machine.
4. In the repo's directory, run terraform init and terraform apply.
5. Done! The API Gateway URL of your Tailcall deployment should be logged to the console. 🎉

Changing your deployment

If you change config/config.graphql, you can update your deployment with the new config by running terraform apply again. This will also auto-update Tailcall if a new version has been released since the last time you've applied the Terraform config.

Configuring your deployment

You can configure certain functionality of your deployment by creating the config/.env file. The following environment variables are checked:

• LOG_LEVEL: Sets minimum log level that will be uploaded to AWS CloudWatch. Available values: TRACE (default, will log everything), DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR.

Teardown

If you want to delete your deployment, run terraform destroy. This will delete your Lambda function and API Gateway from AWS.
