The generated visual representation can help users to understand the architecture and data flow of their serverless application, and identify any issues or opportunities for optimisation. Please note that this tool is not provided or endorsed by AWS, and if you want it to utilise your AWS credentials and configurations stored under `~/.aws`, you will need to explictly **grant it the permission** to do so either through GUI or `sudo snap connect aws-serverless-dataflow:dot-aws-config-credentials`. **Quick start** Try something like this: ``` $ aws-serverless-dataflow -r ap-southeast-2 -i '*boi*' -i '*datahub*' -x '*jameshu*' -c -s Surveyed 11/42 domains in API Gateway Surveyed 72/224 queues in SQS Surveyed 48/209 topics in SNS Surveyed 65/250 subscriptions in SNS Surveyed 100/1115 stacks in CloudFormation Surveyed 98 REST APIs and 54 HTTP APIs in API Gateway (1/2) Surveying API Gateway, SQS, SNS and CloudFormation... done Surveyed 85/410 buckets in S3 Surveyed 120/464 functions in Lambda (2/2) Surveying S3 and Lambda... done Finished survey in 72.672 seconds Generating static website content in 'dataflow'... done Local server started. Ctrl-C to stop. Access URL: http://localhost:8002/ ``` And you should be able to see the diagram in your browser.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install aws-serverless-dataflow To install aws-serverless-dataflow, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install aws-serverless-dataflow ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
