Meet SAM

A basic demonstration of a Rust project using a SAM template to deploy on AWS. There are many workaround required due to issues in the SAM CLI. DO NOT USE THIS IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO USE RUST WITH SAM TEMPLATES AND NOT A SECURE, ROBUST SOLUTION.

Build

Some workarounds are required to build the project so the SAM CLI can use it correctly. Run the ./build script to build the project as it is.

Deploy

Simply run sam deploy -g to have a guided deployment, or sam deploy if you already have a samconfig.toml file created.

Test

You can call the API it created with the following Postman collection. Make sure to update the variables and to change message-id from Get Message and Delete Message for the actual message ID.
