aws-dynamodb-stream-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana module

> Some of our early constructs don’t meet the naming standards that evolved for the library. We are releasing completely feature compatible versions with corrected names. The underlying implementation code is the same regardless of whether you deploy the construct using the old or new name. We will support both names for all 1.x releases, but in 2.x we will only publish the correctly named constructs. This construct is being replaced by the functionally identical aws-dynamodbstreams-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana.

Overview

This AWS Solutions Construct implements Amazon DynamoDB table with stream, AWS Lambda function and Amazon Elasticsearch Service with the least privileged permissions.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

Typescript

// aws-dynamodb-stream-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana has been deprecated for CDK V2 in favor of aws-dynamodbstreams-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana.
// This sample uses the CDK V1 syntax
import * as cdk from '@aws-cdk/core';
import * as lambda from '@aws-cdk/aws-lambda';
import { DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibana, DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibanaProps } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-dynamodb-stream-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana';

const constructProps: DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibanaProps = {
  lambdaFunctionProps: {
    code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`lambda`),
    runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_14_X,
    handler: 'index.handler'
  },
  domainName: 'test-domain',
  // TODO: Ensure the Cognito domain name is globally unique
  cognitoDomainName: 'globallyuniquedomain' + cdk.Aws.ACCOUNT_ID
};

new DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibana(this, 'test', constructProps);

Python

# aws-dynamodb-stream-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana has been deprecated for CDK V2 in favor of aws-dynamodbstreams-lambda-elasticsearch-kibana.
# This sample uses the CDK V1 syntax
from aws_solutions_constructs.aws_dynamodb_stream_lambda_elasticsearch_kibana import DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibana, DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibanaProps

    core
)

DynamoDBStreamToLambdaToElasticSearchAndKibana(
    self, 'test',
    lambda_function_props=_lambda.FunctionProps(
        code=_lambda.Code.from_asset('lambda'),
        runtime=_lambda.Runtime.PYTHON_3_9,
        handler='index.handler'
    ),
    domain_name='test-domain',
    # TODO: Ensure the Cognito domain name is globally unique
    cognito_domain_name='globallyuniquedomain' + core.Aws.ACCOUNT_ID)

Pattern Construct Props

Pattern Properties

Lambda Function

This pattern requires a lambda function that can post data into the Elasticsearch from DynamoDB stream. A sample function is provided here.

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

Amazon DynamoDB Table

• Set the billing mode for DynamoDB Table to On-Demand (Pay per request)
• Enable server-side encryption for DynamoDB Table using AWS managed KMS Key
• Creates a partition key called 'id' for DynamoDB Table
• Retain the Table when deleting the CloudFormation stack
• Enable continuous backups and point-in-time recovery

AWS Lambda Function

• Configure limited privilege access IAM role for Lambda function

• Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda function

• Enable X-Ray Tracing

• Enable Failure-Handling features like enable bisect on function Error, set defaults for Maximum Record Age (24 hours) & Maximum Retry Attempts (500) and deploy SQS dead-letter queue as destination on failure

• Set Environment Variables

  • AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)

Amazon Cognito

• Set password policy for User Pools
• Enforce the advanced security mode for User Pools

Amazon Elasticsearch Service

• Deploy best practices CloudWatch Alarms for the Elasticsearch Domain
• Secure the Kibana dashboard access with Cognito User Pools
• Enable server-side encryption for Elasticsearch Domain using AWS managed KMS Key
• Enable node-to-node encryption for Elasticsearch Domain
• Configure the cluster for the Amazon ES domain
