This project utilizes AWS to send a random quote from a predetermined list of quotes every hour to your friends' phones via SMS.
You will need an AWS account.
(The following has been done in a Linux Ubuntu 20.04 system)
To be able to run this project and use CDK (CloudFormation Kit) to setup your environment in AWS you will need to install the following:
node + npm
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs npm
typescript
$ npm -g install typescript
AWS CLI
In your home or Downloads folder
$ curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
$ unzip awscliv2.zip
$ sudo ./aws/install
CDK
$ npm install -g aws-cdk
- Configure AWS credentials
$ aws configure
and enter the appropriate values for your AWS account
-
Put the phone numbers you wish to send these quotes to in the document named
phone_subscriptionsin the main directory of your stack. Make sure to put every phone number in a separate line. -
Install the used libraries.
$ npm run build
$ npm install
- After you are done setting up you can check the differences that will be made to the stack,
$ cdk diff
- And deploy the changes.
$ cdk deploy
Should everything work correctly, your friends will receive a random quote in the first minute of every hour. :)
NOTE: {my-function-name} in the lines below has to be replaced with the name of your lambda function that you see in the AWS Console, that will looks something like stackName-FunctionName12345678-A1C2EFGJ3IJKL
$ aws lambda invoke \
--function-name {my-function-name} \
--cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
--payload '{ "name": "Bob" }' \
