connecting AWS SAM Local with dynamodb in docker

由 时光总嘲笑我的痴心妄想 提交于 2019-11-28 05:05:24

Many thanks to Heitor Lessa who answered me on Twitter with an example repo

Which pointed me at the answer...

  • dynamodb's docker container is on 127.0.0.1 from the context of my machine (which is why I could interact with it)

  • SAM local's docker container is on 127.0.0.1 from the context of my machine

  • But they aren't on 127.0.0.1 from each other's context

So: https://github.com/heitorlessa/sam-local-python-hot-reloading/blob/master/users/users.py#L14

Pointed me at changing my connection code to:

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const awsRegion = process.env.AWS_REGION || 'eu-west-2'

let dynamoDbClient
const makeClient = () => {
  const options = {
    region: awsRegion
  }
  if(process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL) {
    options.endpoint = 'http://dynamodb:8000'
  }
  dynamoDbClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient(options)
  return dynamoDbClient
}

module.exports = {
  connect: () => dynamoDbClient || makeClient()
}

with the important lines being: 

if(process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL) {
  options.endpoint = 'http://dynamodb:8000'
}

from the context of the SAM local docker container the dynamodb container is exposed via its name

My two startup commands ended up as:

docker run -d -v "$PWD":/dynamodb_local_db -p 8000:8000 --network lambda-local --name dynamodb cnadiminti/dynamodb-local

and

AWS_REGION=eu-west-2 sam local start-api --docker-network lambda-local

with the only change here being to give the dynamodb container a name

If your using sam-local on a mac like alot of devs you should be able to just use

options.endpoint = "http://docker.for.mac.localhost:8000"

Or on newer installs of docker https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/release-notes/#docker-community-edition-18030-ce-mac59-2018-03-26

options.endpoint = "http://host.docker.internal:8000"

Instead of having to do multiple commands like Paul showed above (but that might be more platform agnostic?).

As @Paul mentioned, it is about configuring your network between the docker containers - lambda and database.

Another approach that worked for me (using docker-compose).

docker-compose:

version: '2.1'

services:
  db:
    image: ...
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    networks:
      - my_network
    environment:
      ...
    volumes:
      ...

networks:
  my_network:

Then, after docker-compose up, running docker network ls will show:

NETWORK ID          NAME                        DRIVER              SCOPE
7eb440d5c0e6        dev_my_network              bridge              local

My docker container name is dev_db_1.

My js code is:

const connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: "dev_db_1",
    port: 3306,
    ...
});

Then, running the sam command:

sam local invoke --docker-network dev_my_network -e my.json

Stack:

  • Docker: 18.03.1-ce
  • Docker-compose: 1.21.1
  • MacOS HighSierra 10.13.6

SAM starts a docker container lambci/lambda under the hood, if you have another container hosting dynamodb for example or any other services to which you want to connect your lambda, so you should have both in the same network

Suppose dynamodb (notice --name, this is the endpoint now)

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name DynamoDBEndpoint amazon/dynamodb-local

This will result in something like this 

0e35b1c90cf0....

To know which network this was created inside:

docker inspect 0e35b1c90cf0

It should give you something like 

...
Networks: {
     "services_default": {//this is the <<myNetworkName>>

....

If you know your networks and want to put docker container inside specific network, you can save the above steps and do this in one command while starting container using --network option

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --network myNetworkName --name DynamoDBEndpoint amazon/dynamodb-local

Important: Your lambda code now should have endpoint to dynamo to DynamoDBEndpoint

To say for example: 

if(process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL) {
  options.endpoint = 'http://DynamoDBEndpoint:8000'
}

Testing everything out:

Using lambci:lambda

This should only list all tables inside your other dynamodb container

docker run -ti --rm --network myNetworkName lambci/lambda:build-go1.x \
   aws configure set aws_access_key_id "xxx" && \
   aws configure set aws_secret_access_key "yyy" &&  \
   aws --endpoint-url=http://DynamoDBEndpoint:4569 --region=us-east-1 dynamodb list-tables

Or to invoke a function: (Go Example, same as NodeJS) 

#Golang
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/var/task lambci/lambda:go1.x handlerName '{"some": "event"}'
#Same for NodeJS 
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/var/task lambci/lambda:nodejs10.x index.handler

More Info about lambci/lambda can be found here

Using SAM (which uses the same container lmabci/lambda):

sam local invoke --event myEventData.json --docker-network myNetworkName MyFuncName

You can always use --debug option in case you want to see more details.

Alternatively, You can also use http://host.docker.internal:8000 without the hassle of playing with docker, this URL is reserved internally and gives you an access to your host machine but make sure you expose port 8000 when you start dynamodb container. Although it is quite easy but it doesn't work in all operating systems. For more details about this feature, please check docker documentation

If you are using LocalStack to run DynamoDB, I believe the correct command to use the LocalStack network for SAM is:

sam local start-api --env-vars env.json --docker-network localstack_default

And in your code, the LocalStack hostname should be localstack_localstack_1

const dynamoDbDocumentClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({
  endpoint: process.env.AWS_SAM_LOCAL ?
    'http://localstack_localstack_1:4569' :
    undefined,
});

However, I launched LocalStack using docker-compose up. Using the pip CLI tool to launch LocalStack may result in different identifiers.

The other answers were too overly complicated / unclear for me. Here is what I came up with.

Step 1: use docker-compose to get DynamoDB local running on a custom network

docker-compose.yml

Note the network name abp-sam-backend, service name dynamo and that dynamo service is using the backend network.

version: '3.5'

services:
  dynamo:
    container_name: abp-sam-nestjs-dynamodb
    image: amazon/dynamodb-local
    networks:
      - backend
    ports:
      - '8000:8000'
    volumes:
      - dynamodata:/home/dynamodblocal
    working_dir: /home/dynamodblocal
    command: '-jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb -dbPath .'

networks:
  backend:
    name: abp-sam-backend

volumes:
  dynamodata: {}

Start DyanmoDB local container via:

docker-compose up -d dynamo

Step 2: Write your code to handle local DynamoDB endpoint

import { DynamoDB, Endpoint } from 'aws-sdk';

const ddb = new DynamoDB({ apiVersion: '2012-08-10' });

if (process.env['AWS_SAM_LOCAL']) {
  ddb.endpoint = new Endpoint('http://dynamo:8000');
} else if ('local' == process.env['APP_STAGE']) {
  // Use this when running code directly via node. Much faster iterations than using sam local
  ddb.endpoint = new Endpoint('http://localhost:8000');
}

Note that I'm using the hostname alias dynamo. This alias is auto-created for me by docker inside the abp-sam-backend network. The alias name is just the service name.

Step 3: Launch the code via sam local

sam local start-api -t sam-template.yml --docker-network abp-sam-backend --skip-pull-image --profile default --parameter-overrides 'ParameterKey=StageName,ParameterValue=local ParameterKey=DDBTableName,ParameterValue=local-SingleTable'

Note that I'm telling sam local to use the existing network abp-sam-backend that was defined in my docker-compose.yml

End-to-end example

I made a working example (plus a bunch of other features) that can be found at https://github.com/rynop/abp-sam-nestjs
