Infrastructure as Code Project

Using AWS CDK and TypeScript

This project was completed by following along with the course Infrastructure as Code, Master AWS Cloud Development Kit CDK. I wanted to get some more experience with AWS and creating infrastructure as code.

Note: This online course is very outdated. Many of the packages used are depricated and have security vulnerabilities. In order to improve security I attempted to refactor the project to an updated version. I regret to say that I was unable to make the final change to the app, as a particular package does not have a current and working version that did not have conflicts.

Local Development Instructions:

Building an app was not the point of this project. However, you can still spin up a local version if you so desire. Complete instructions will be added shortly.

• npm run build compile typescript to js
• npm run watch watch for changes and compile
• npm run test perform the jest unit tests
• npx cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
• npx cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
• npx cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
• npm start runs the app in local development mode

Deployed App:

There is no longer anything deployed at this time, as I have deleted all corresponding buckets for the application.

Technologies used include:

• s3 Buckets
• Lambda Function
• CloudFront Distribution
• API Gateway
• CDK Metadata
