Welcome to your CDK TypeScript project!

You should explore the contents of this project. It demonstrates a CDK app with two stacks which contain an Amazon SQS queue that is subscribed to an Amazon SNS topic.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.

Useful commands

• npm run build compile typescript to js
• npm run watch watch for changes and compile
• npm run test perform the jest unit tests
• cdk deploy --all deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
• cdk diff --all compare deployed stack with current state
• cdk synth <stack id> emits the synthesized CloudFormation template

Side-by-side deployments

The configuration of this template allows multiple deployments of the stacks with

• multiple copies in different accounts,
• multiple copies in different regions in the same account, and
• multiple side-by-side copies in the same account and region.

For this to work you will need to prepend the Prefix configured in each deployment to

• all names of resources
• all names of exported stack outputs.

Configuration

Make a copy of the xxx.deployment.template.yaml and save it as xxx.deployment.yaml. Fill in the account number and region. The file containing your account details is ignored in .gitignore but you can choose to put it under source control if you wish.

You can perform a specific deployment like this

cdk deploy --all -c config=xxx

For convenience, especially when developing and if you have multiple aws profiles configured, you can store in aws-profile.txt your AWS profile and use ./cdk.sh instead of cdk in all CDK commands. This will save you from typing --profile <your aws profile>.
