Dead simple AWS SQS to Bluesky serverless poster 🔈.

Publish message 💌 to SQS (FIFO), Lambda function will handle publishing posts to Bluesky. Automagically. 🎉

Honestly, my intention is to automate the sharing of specific information through the use of this queue in several side projects. I'm bringing this to your attention because I couldn't find a comparable solution on Github or in open-source projects. I'm hopeful that it may prove useful to someone else.

🚀 Getting started

Update variables in Makefile and tf/variables.tf according to your environment.

type make to get started (help)

Requirements

AWS Account
Bluesky Account
Terraform App

How to deploy on your AWS Account

make all (all-in-one command)

Manual - Under the hood (for Plumbers)

make tf-package (create the artifact and push to S3)
make tf-init (to prepare terraform deployment)
make tf-apply Deploy the infrastructure

nb: Terraform is using remote state on S3.

Setup Bluesky secrets

After you've deployed the Terraform you will need to set Bluesky API credentials manually to AWS Secret Manager using AWS console.

Set the following credentials in AWS Secret Manager: bluesky_handle and bluesky_password

🗯️ How to publish a message
