Using Swagger UI in AWS' serverless stack

1

AWS Lambda

Few things are as frustrating as working with an API that is not properly documented. That is why we aim to equip our applications with Swagger / OpenAPI documentation. This exposes the url /swagger where a nice documentation for the API is available. At the same time have we been using more and more serverless technologies, which in our situation means AWS Lambda. In order to use an AWS Lambda function as an HTTP API the function needs to be triggered by a route defined in AWS API Gateway. I want to share the setup we use to quickly expose Swagger documentation for our serverless stacks.

AWS CloudFormation

NB The code examples use NodeJS and Cloudformation as those are the tools we currently use at Coolblue. This trick is not very complex, so it should be easily translated to other languages.
