Making Lambda - API Gateway Hookup Easier

One thing we noticed when we built our lambda functions and API Gateway’s, is we had the small annoyance. We would have to manually go into the AWS Console and manually hook up the gateway to the function.

Now this isn’t a huge deal but when you are building multiple functions and api’s, it becomes a thorn in your side of having to manually go into the console.
So what did we do? We added a permission for the Lambda to be invoked by the API Gateway when called the CloudFormation template in our CI pipeline. This alleviates having to manually go into the Console to manually hookup both services.

It’s not a “game changer” per-say, but small changes like this add a little more efficiency to the our workflow.

Hi everyone, Nice to meet you all! I found Hashnode from a cloud tech channel that I follow and I am glad to be here.Tech has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy how expansive it is. A little about me, I've been in tech for ~12 years, started by doing a help desk role supporting the first iPhone. Most of my experience is in QA/Test from mobile devices, to SaaS platforms, automation, Ci/CD, etc... Currently, I am looking to learn all can about "the cloud" in the form of AWS. I am very interested in building a career as a DevOps/SRE. Most of blog will be about learning cloud technologies and how they fit together.
