is there a way to add environment variables automatically in AWS lambda through kotless?

[TanVD]

Yep:

kotless {
    webapp {
        lambda {
            environment = hashMapOf("key" to "value")
        }
    }
}

[TanVD]

Environment map would be passed as environment variables to lambda funciton

[TanVD]

Also Kotless supports SSM integration which I would consider more preferable approach 🙂

i'm quite new to the backend stuff and AWS, but what is SSM integration?

[TanVD]

I mean AWS Parameter Store -- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/systems-manager-parameter-store.html . It is manged solution for keeping parameters and secrets. Kotless support permission generation for it

[TanVD]

But if you are new to AWS environment variables are simpler 🙂

[gumil]

yeah, i think i'd go for the env variables for now. thanks for the help

@TanVD Is there any documentation/examples with Kotless + AWS Parameter Store out there? 🙂

[TanVD]

Hm, there was an example for shortener with ssm parameters, but not right now 🙂 @SSMParameters does not work?
