AWS AppSync Terraform module

Terraform module which creates AWS AppSync resources and connects them together.

This Terraform module is part of serverless.tf framework, which aims to simplify all operations when working with the serverless in Terraform.

Usage

Complete AppSync with datasources and resolvers

module "appsync" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/appsync/aws"

  name = "dev-appsync"

  schema = file("schema.graphql")

  visibility = "GLOBAL"

  api_keys = {
    default = null # such key will expire in 7 days
  }

  additional_authentication_provider = {
    iam = {
      authentication_type = "AWS_IAM"
    }

    openid_connect_1 = {
      authentication_type = "OPENID_CONNECT"

      openid_connect_config = {
        issuer    = "https://www.issuer1.com/"
        client_id = "client_id1"
      }
    }
  }

  datasources = {
    registry_terraform_io = {
      type     = "HTTP"
      endpoint = "https://registry.terraform.io"
    }

    lambda_create_zip = {
      type         = "AWS_LAMBDA"
      function_arn = "arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:135367859850:function:index_1"
    }

    dynamodb1 = {
      type       = "AMAZON_DYNAMODB"
      table_name = "my-table"
      region     = "eu-west-1"
    }

    elasticsearch1 = {
      type     = "AMAZON_ELASTICSEARCH"
      endpoint = "https://search-my-domain.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com"
      region   = "eu-west-1"
    }

    opensearchservice1 = {
      type     = "AMAZON_OPENSEARCH_SERVICE"
      endpoint = "https://opensearch-my-domain.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com"
      region   = "eu-west-1"
    }

    eventbridge1 = {
      type          = "AMAZON_EVENTBRIDGE"
      event_bus_arn = "arn:aws:events:us-west-1:135367859850:event-bus/eventbridge1"
    }

    rds1 = {
      type          = "RELATIONAL_DATABASE"
      cluster_arn   = "arn:aws:rds:us-west-1:135367859850:cluster:rds1"
      secret_arn    = "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-1:135367859850:secret:rds-secret1"
      database_name = "mydb"
      schema        = "myschema"
    }
  }

  resolvers = {
    "Query.getZip" = {
      data_source   = "lambda_create_zip"
      direct_lambda = true
    }

    "Query.getModuleFromRegistry" = {
      data_source       = "registry_terraform_io"
      request_template  = file("vtl-templates/request.Query.getModuleFromRegistry.vtl")
      response_template = file("vtl-templates/response.Query.getModuleFromRegistry.vtl")
    }
  }
}

Conditional creation

Sometimes you need to have a way to create resources conditionally but Terraform 0.12 does not allow usage of count inside module block, so the solution is to specify create_graphql_api argument.

module "appsync" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/appsync/aws"

  create_graphql_api = false # to disable all resources

  # ... omitted
}

Relationship between Data-Source and Resolver resources

datasources define keys which can be referenced in resolvers. For initial configuration and parameters updates Terraform is able to understand the order of resources correctly.

In order to change name of keys in both places (eg from lambda-old to lambda-new), you will need to change key in both variables, and then run Terraform with partial configuration (using -target) to handle the migration in the aws_appsync_resolver resource (eg, Post.id):

# Create new resources and update resolver
$ terraform apply -target="module.appsync.aws_appsync_resolver.this[\"Post.id\"]" -target="module.appsync.aws_appsync_datasource.this[\"lambda-new\"]" -target="module.appsync.aws_iam_role.service_role[\"lambda-new\"]" -target="module.appsync.aws_iam_role_policy.this[\"lambda-new\"]"

# Delete orphan resources ("lambda-old")
$ terraform apply
