Netlify

Netlify has Netlify Functions which allow you to write what are essentially lambda functions trivially in the same code-base as your frontend application.

Configuring the token

Given we’re authenticated with the CLI, we can easily set the Netlify environment variable from the command line.

Terminal window
netlify env:set SAILHOUSE_TOKEN=$(sailhouse tokens create --app <app-slug>)

You could do this instead on the Netlify Dashboard, and you can read more about environment variables in the Netlify docs

Examples

Below are some basic examples to get you started.

Using the Go SDK

Below is an example for utilising the Go SDK on a Netlify Function

package main


import (
  "os"


  "github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/events"
  "github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda"
  "github.com/sailhouse/sdk-go/sailhouse"
)


func handler(request events.APIGatewayProxyRequest) (*events.APIGatewayProxyResponse, error) {
  client := sailhouse.NewSailhouseClient(os.Getenv("SAILHOUSE_TOKEN"))


  client.Publish("awesome-example", map[string]string{
    "message": "Hello World!",
  })


  return &events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{
    StatusCode: 200,
    Body:       "Hello World!",
  }, nil
}


func main() {
  lambda.Start(handler)
}

Using the TypeScript SDK

Below is another example of using the TypeScript SDK within a Netlify Function.

import { Handler } from "@netlify/functions";
import { SailhouseClient } from "@sailhouse/client";


export const handler: Handler = async (event, _) => {
  const { body } = event;
  const { email, type } = JSON.parse(body ?? "{}");


  const client = new SailhouseClient(process.env.SAILHOUSE_API_KEY!);


  await client.publish("signups", {
    email,
    type,
  });


  return {
    statusCode: 200,
  };
};
