AWS Toolkit for IntelliJ - Setup Demo and Deploy a Lambda Function to AWS

Developers usually interact with AWS either through the AWS console or using the AWS CLI. AWS Toolkit is a tool that allows you to interact with AWS resources directly within your IntelliJ IDEA Editor. You can use AWS Toolkit to view, create, update, or delete your resources without ever having to leave your IDE. In this video, I show you how to setup IntelliJ IDEA and demonstrate how we can use it and CloudFormation to deploy a Lambda function.

Everyone works with AWS should watch this!

[@BeABetterDev]

I agree!

[@kinde1607]

Fantastic demonstration! Thanks!

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@kinde1607]

@@BeABetterDev Quick question. When I installed Intellij and wanted to run the Lambda functions I noticed that only the Java runtime was there - Node.JS, Python etc. were missing. How do I get those runtimes to show within Intellij? Thanks

[@thetrilbies1]

Any chance of sharing what AWS permissions to allocate to allows the AWS toolkit to view the services (eg S3)? Or did you grant all permissions to all services for this demo? Thanks.

[@10SURA]

How did you populate the profile under the AWS connection tab?

[@noony31122009]

Awesome

[@sowjanyareddy1944]

I'm getting error loading resources and access denied exception even after attaching the administrator permission to IAM User . How to deal with this?

[@jayanth1376]

👌👌👌

IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.3: has changed vs what this video shows. In this IDEA release the menu bar is titled "AWS Toolkit" and in that window there is an "Explorer" tab. Spent the last 90 minutes figuring this one out.

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks for bringing this up Gary!

[@muddassirrahman1828]

same here but I am still figuring

[@arkster00]

Does it work with Pycharm which essentially has the same bones as intellij?

[@asdfasdfuhf]

Just use intellij, intellij can the same as pycharm and more.

[@stephenday4834]

Latest IntelliJ with the latest AWS Toolkit doesn't seem to be able to create a valid serverless application config. The BuildMethod is missing from the template.yam so it defaults to using Makefiles, which don't exist. The Runtime go1.x doesn't work anymore and should be replaced with provided.al2023. There is at least one other problem that prevents "sam build" from working but I have not figured out where it is yet. It seems better to NOT use the AWS Toolkit to create lambda functions but use "sam init" on a terminal instead. Of course it's possible I'm doing things wrong here. I really hope AWS fix this, it would be so awesome if this actually worked..

[@Chris_Lan]

i like it picasso

[@SriniVasan-ml6we]

Hello Sir, How do Intellij know which account resources it has to display or deploy?

[@hopelessdecoy]

I haven't used this much but the plugin says it can be logged into your AWS account, probably in the configs and using your key files or sign on creds

[@herculanoooo]

You see on his screen where it's show "awssimplified"? This is a profile with access and secret access key for the account that he wants to be managed. You can change it

[@yoanpacheco1708]

It will deploy to the aws account that is selected in the aws toolkit window.

[@yoanpacheco1708]

Very nice, however the template.yaml file content is not cloudformation, it is SAM, very similar to cloudformation but it is not cloudformation.

[@pichu8115]

My admin disabled all the related permissions after notifying i am using this feature🤣

[@BeABetterDev]

Noooo!

I aint using a Russian tool
