Mastodon Status

A Rust Lambda function that is used to deliver downtime messages for my website to Mastodon.

Design

Uses megalodon-rs and aws lambda rust runtime to publish status to @sachiniyerstatus@botsin.space @sachiniyerstatus@mas.to.

I use AWS infra because I don't want to be dependent on my cluster for this. However, I still use my status api (source) to get status on all my services. If that goes down, I assume the whole cluster is down.

Specifically, I have a lambda function that is triggered by a scheduled cloudwatch rule to run every 30 5 minutes.

Running

You should be able to run/deploy this as well. Make sure to clone recursively.

Development

1. copy env.sample to .env and modify it
2. install Cargo Lambda
3. run cargo lambda watch --env-file .env
4. run cargo lambda invoke --data-ascii "{}"to test the function

Deployment

1. copy env.sample to .env and modify it
2. install Cargo Lambda
3. to deploy cargo lambda deploy --iam-role <IAM ROLE> --env-file .env <LAMBDA NAME> --binary-name mastodon-status
