Adding Additional Microservices
For now, complete the steps Manually.
The following instructions will allow you to provision a new Service the same way that Scaffoldly Start provisions them when the Infrastructure is first created.
- Add it to your Organization or User account managed by Scaffoldly
- Repository Naming:
- Let's assume you want to call this service
payments
and have it accessible athttps://{{your-domain}}/payments
- Name the repository
payments-sls-rest-api
(all lower case, delimited with hyphens) - If you prefer, make it Private
- 1.Go to Actions for the new repository
- 2.Choose Render Template then click Run Workflow
- 1.Archetype Source Git URL
- 2.Archetect Render Options
-s overwrite -s github -s serverless -s entity -a repository-name=payments-sls-rest-api -a persistence=dynamodb -a entities=example -a auth=true
- 1.NOTE: Update
repostiory-name
to match the repository name - 2.NOTE: Omit
-a auth=true
if you did NOT add the Authentication service (e.g.auth-sls-rest-api
is not in your User/Organization
- 3.GitHub Token
- 1.Create and Provide a Personal Access Token (if you don't already have one) that has
workflow
andrepo
permissions.- 1.NOTE: This token isn't stored anywhere, it is used once in the GitHub Action to commit changes to the repository
Click Run Workflow. In a few moments, you will see the Repository populated.
- 1.Navigate to the
scaffoldly-bootstrap
project - 2.Go to Actions
- 3.Choose Render Template then click Run Workflow
- 1.Archetype Source Git URL
- 2.Archetect Render Options
-s overwrite -s aws -s github -s serverless-api -a serverless-api-repos=payments-sls-rest-api
- 3.GitHub Token
- 1.Use the same Personal Access Token from earlier
Click Run Workflow. In a few moments, you will see additional files added to the repository
aws-serverless-api-payments-sls-rest-api.tf
aws-serverless-api-payments-sls-rest-api-github.tf
- 1.Within the
scaffoldly-bootstrap
project, go to Actions - 2.Choose Terraform Plan then Run Workflow
- 3.No additional options are needed here, so click Run Workflow to start a
terraform plan
operation
A new Release will be created, which can be found by clicking Releases on the
scaffoldly-bootstrap
repository home page in GitHub.

Click the Edit icon (✎) and then click Publish release
Back under Actions you will be able to see the changes made to AWS under the Terraform Apply GitHub Action.
After the Terraform Apply is complete, navigate back to your new Repository and go to Actions. Our automations kicked off a Nonlive Deploy for you.
