Feature Flag Scheduler CLI for Optimizely

Schedule feature flag toggling using AWS Lambda & CloudWatch.

Overview: Run CLI command to create a CloudWatch cron-scheduled Event with a payload containing feature ID, toggle state (on/off), and environment name. When the scheduled Event is triggered, it will invoke a Lambda function and pass along the payload which will be used to toggle feature state via the Optimizely REST API.

Configuration

Environments: >= Python 3.6

Setting up the local CLI

• The AWS connectivity is handled by named profiles
• The named profile used by the CLI must be set as an environment variable OPTLY_LAMBDA_AWS_PROFILE
• The Lambda function ARN must be set as an environment variable OPTLY_LAMBDA_FNC_ARN
• The Lambda function ID must be set as an environment variable OPTLY_LAMBDA_FNC_ID

Setting up AWS Lambda function

The files contents of lambda_function/lambda_function.py can be placed directly within a Lambda function

• The Optimizely "personal token" must be set as the v2_token environment variable in the Lambda function configuration screen within AWS

Setting up CloudWatch Events

Nothing needs to be done on the CloudWatch dashboard, but it helps troubleshoot by being able to refresh your list of scheduled jobs via the interface
