Description

This project's objective is to integrate web forms on your website with Google Sheets within your Google Drive account. This integration facilitates a user-friendly approach to managing received data compared to traditional database querying methods. By automatically populating form submissions into a Google Sheet, it offers the possibility for non-technical people to manage the acquired data

Quickstart setup

Serverless

Required to deploy our application to the cloud platform of our choice, in this case, its helping us to deploy the project inside AWS.

• Serverless framework:
  • npm i -g serverless
  • serverless plugin install -n serverless-wsgi
  • serverless config credentials --provider aws --key YOUR_KEY --secret YOUR_SECRET (if you dont have your Keys go to the Next Topic)
  • More complete instalation Tutorial: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/getting-started
  • sls login and you are good to go!

Google Cloud and AWS Credentials

Google Cloud credentials are required to populate the credentials.json file, enabling Google API usage. AWS credentials are necessary for the serverless-cli to obtain all the required permissions to deploy the infrastructure to your AWS account.

• Google API Credentials: just go to this page -> Enable API -> select your project and follow the steps
• AWS credentials:
  • Put these commands on your terminal: sudo apt install awscli then aws configure
  • Go to AWS IAM console -> Security credentials -> Access keys -> Create access key -> store the keys on the file opened by the aws configure command

Python

The project was coded using python language so it's necessary to have Python and its dependency manager PIP installed on your machine.

• Python: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/
• PIP: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/
• How to Create a Virtual Environment? For Python-based services, it's recommended to create a virtual environment for isolated dependency installation.

  > pip install virtualenv
  > virtualenv environment_name
  > source environment_name/bin/activate
  # Use the **deactivate** command to exit the venv

Useful commands:

• sls info - to see endpoints and other stats of your Lambda Function
• sls deploy - to deploy your application to your cloud account
• sls logs- to see the recently logs of the lambda
• serverless deploy function -f functionName - to deploy only the changes on your function (more efficient when u didnt change the infraestructure)
