DynamoDB --> Stream --> Elasticsearch

The missing blueprint for AWS Lambda, which reads stream from AWS DynamoDB and writes it to Elasticsearch.

Whenever data is changed (modified, removed or inserted) in DynamoDB one can use AWS Lambda function to capture this change and update Elasticsearch machine immediately. Further reading:

Indexing Amazon DynamoDB Content with Amazon Elasticsearch Service Using AWS Lambda


Getting Started

Install:
`bash
npm i dynamodb-stream-elasticsearch
`
Use it in your lambda:
`javascript
const { pushStream } = require('dynamodb-stream-elasticsearch');

const { ES_ENDPOINT, INDEX } = process.env;

function myHandler(event, context, callback) {
console.log('Received event:', JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
pushStream({ event, endpoint: ES_ENDPOINT, index: INDEX })
.then(() => {
callback(null, Successfully processed ${event.Records.length} records.);
})
.catch((e) => {
callback(Error ${e}, null);
});
}

exports.handler = myHandler;
`
Upload Lambda to AWS and _star_ this repository if it works as expected!!

| Param | Description | Required
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| event | Event object generated by the stream (pass it as it is and don't modify) | required
| endpoint | Exact url of Elasticsearch instance (it works with AWS ES and standard ES) (string) | required
| index | The name of Elasticsearch index (string). If not provided will set the same as DynamoDB table name | optional
| refresh | Force Elasticsearch refresh its index immediately more here (boolean). Default: true | optional
| useBulk | Enables bulk upserts and removals (boolean). Default: false | optional
| keepAlive | Keep sockets around in a pool to be used by other requests in the future (boolean). Default = false | optional
| transformFunction | A function/promise to transform each record before sending them to ES. Applies to INSERT and UPDATE operations. If transformFunction returns an empty object or false the row will be skipped. This function will receive body (NewImage), oldBody (OldImage) and (record) as the whole record as arguments. | optional
| elasticSearchOptions | Additional set of arguments passed to elasticsearch Client see here | optional




Running the tests

Tests are written using Mocha [https://mochajs.org/]. There are two sets of tests, one uses an elasticsearch instance and one uses localstack. To execute the former use:

`bash
docker-compose up -d
npm test
`

The latter can be executed with additional setup in place. You will need to:

`bash
docker-compose up -d


Install aws cli and configure it


pip install awscli-local
aws configure
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:4566 es create-elasticsearch-domain --domain-name domain-test
npm run test-aws
`

One Note: there seem to be problems running localstack on macs M1, to check if the cluster has been created run:
`awslocal es describe-elasticsearch-domain --domain-name domain-test | grep Created``

Third version doesn't support types as they were deprecated in ES 7.0.
