UE-Civic-API_Srvc

A wrapper with caching for the googleapi civic service to allow you to respond quickly and also to enforce https despite the fact that some of the civic api content provided by google is only http. I do modify the return slightly to make it easier to reference officials and titles together.

Lambda

This is an express service wrapped as a lambda function. You can find an example and details here: https://medium.com/@theBoEffect/porting-node-express-k8-service-to-lambda-with-serverless-a-few-extra-lessons-learned-a9dded3e6d11

  • Ensure you have the serverless.com framework installed
  • Ensure you have an aws account and configured with serverless
  • change the directory .env_changeme to .env
  • change the json file values in .env/env.qa.json to match your config.js file
  • in aws, make sure you've created an SLS certificate for your route53 domain
  • SLS_ENV=qa sls create_domain (if this is the first time)
  • SLS_ENV=qa yarn deploy

It may take up to 40 minutes for the domain you create to be available.
