How to "API Gateway as a proxy for DynamoDB" with serverless

Serverless Framework

Hello serverless people.

I just came across this thing i didn’t know exists: “API Gateway as a proxy for DynamoDB” (ref: Using Amazon API Gateway as a proxy for DynamoDB | AWS Compute Blog)

I want to replace my lambdas to this^

all my requests are pretty simple, except of my GET request that have some built-in customised filters.

I did came across the plugin “apigateway-service-proxy”, but not sure if this will be sufficient for my future needs, and prefer to apply this in a “raw” custom way while merging it to my current api gateway.
if it’s possible to get some kind of a boiler plate template on how to apply this in .yml (and probably code, so in python) i’d be super happy.

I cannot edit my post so i’ll add some examples:

  1. GET requests to /devices:

    • /devices - should return all the devices in my dynamodb table.
    • /devices?customer_id=42 - should return all devices with customer_id column equals to 42.
    • /devices?customer_id=null - (could be other indicator that isn’t null but similar) returns all devices that doesn’t have a “customer_id” column.
    • /devices?created=12345,67899 - returns all devices created between the 2 timestamps.
    • Combinations of more than one filter, like /devices?customer_id=42&created=12345,67899 - will return all devices assigned to user id 42 and created between the 2 stated timestamps.

  2. POST request for /devices: Adds a device row in the Devices dynamodb table, while some inputs like “customer_id, name, url” are mandatory.

  3. PATCH request for /devices: Updates a row with a “customer_id” (can be an non existing column too).

Note: The solution doesn’t have to include all the requests i mentioned, although, the more the better. I can build a function that builds a filter. I just need the general guidelines for doing that with Serverless Framework.
