This repository contains the backend for Left4Craft's statuspage. It is completely serverless to maximize reliability.
The functions directory contains code for 3 lambda functions: update, status, and history.
The update function is called every 5 minutes by EventBridge, and it logs in to the control panel to gather status data about the Minecraft servers. The function stores the result into an Timestream database and a Redis cache.
The status function responds to HTTP requests from API Gateway and returns cached values from the Redis cache.
The history function responds to HTTP requests from API Gateway and returns historic uptime information from the Timestream database. It also uses Redis as a caching layer.
Redis is not included in serverless.yml because it's cheaper to simply use Redis enterprise free tier, which includes failover and AWS hosting.
To install required dependencies, run
npm installIn order to deploy the endpoint, copy secret_template.js into secret.js, provide AWS credentials, and run
