Use our sam-eventbridge-project cookiecutter project. Get an event driven project up and running in a few steps. On the 3rd of October the AWS Community Day NL was held in Amersfoort. I gave a talk about CodeCommit and how you could use events to make your life easier.

Conclusion: Recognize a problem, find a trigger, and automate the wanted result!

The “hidden” message of the presentation was that you need to find a trigger. This trigger could be an event send to EventBridge.

Most of the times when I start something new. I copy an other project and then change it to my likings. After I gave my presentation at the Community Day. I realized that that was a “problem”! So, I automated the wanted result.

Now, when I want to start a new project I execute: (as a trigger)

cookiecutter gh:binxio/sam-eventbridge-project

Cookiecutter will then create the project structure for me. It contains the following things:

  • AWS SAM, used to build and deploy the CloudFormation stack.
  • Sample implementation of a CloudFormation Stack event’s.
  • Unit tests, validates the sample implementation.
  • Linting and formatting, keeps your code clean and follows style guides.
  • Complexity scanning, prevents your code to become to complex.
  • Makefile to simplify the usage of the project.

By using the sam-eventbridge-project cookiecutter project you will speedup your event driven projects!
