Deploy using the SAM CLI

Clone/fork the repository

Clone or fork this repository and push it to your own GitHub account.

Run sam deploy command

Run the following command replacing the api key value with yours

sam deploy --parameter-overrides FaunaDBSecretKey=YOUR_API_KEY

Running sam deploy --guided will not work as expected since the FaunaDBSecretKey parameter is set with the NoEcho attribute, for security reasons, which means it will not get saved in the samconfig.yaml.

Deploy in your account using the included GitHub workflows

Clone/fork the repository

Clone or fork this repository and push it to your own GitHub account.

Setup GitHub environment

1. Create an GitHub environment named sandbox
2. Add your Pipeline Execution Role (PIPELINE_EXECUTION_ROLE), CloudFormation Execution Role (CLOUDFORMATION_EXECUTION_ROLE) and a target S3 bucket name for the artifacts (ARTIFACTS_BUCKET_NAME). Here is an explanation by Chris Ebert on how to set this up.
3. Add the Base URL and the API Key for Open Weather. The Base URL is set as an Environment Variable named FaunaDbUrl and the API Key is set as a Secret named FaunaDBSecretKey

Run Deployment

In the Actions in GitHub you can select the Deploy to Sandbox Workflow. There will be a button to Run workflow where you can now select the branch you wish to deploy.
