Lambda function HTTP authorization with Auth0 and AssemblyLift (WebAssembly + Lambda + API Gateway + Rust)

1

Terraform

You should also be familiar with AWS IAM, as we will need to add permissions to our function enabling access to DynamoDB. Optionally if you know some Terraform, we will also demonstrate how you can set these permissions from within the project code. 😀.

Rust

We are going to write a simple function in Rust which writes an item to a DynamoDB table, so you should be familiar with Rust (our usage of DynamoDB will be very basic). In particular, you should be comfortable with async/await in Rust.

Amazon API Gateway

A better approach is to invoke the function via HTTP API Gateway, and make the underlying function an implementation detail. In addition to decoupling, with an API Gateway we can now use HTTP authorization schemes such as OAuth to protect our functions!

Auth0

Auth0 offers a highly-regarded (and easy to use, personally speaking) authentication platform, which we can use to provide an OAuth authorizer for our API. Auth0 offers a free plan supporting up to 7000 users!
