aws-cdk-demo

A demo project of infrastructure as code using AWS CDK JavaScript.

Before you start trying out this code by yourself, make sure you have:

An AWS account: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup#/start
Credentials setup: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html#cli-configure-quickstart-creds
Has installed aws-cdk globally: npm install -g aws-cdk https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/getting_started.html

This project has 3 main folders:

./
├── infrastructure
├── website
└── website_assets

Infrastructure folder

This folder contains the CDK Toolkit and all CDK commands should be executed from here.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app. The build step is not required when using JavaScript.

npm run test perform the jest unit tests
cdk bootstrap run this the first time to deploy the the CDK Toolkit stack. You need to have your credentials already setup
cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region

Here you will find a very simple example using node express with aws-serverless-express. Read more at https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-express
