Architecture overview

Prerequisites

In order to the build process, you have to have these tools installed:

1. AWS CLI (with at least default profile configured)
2. git
3. Terraform
4. nodejs
5. cdktf
6. Docker

(I'll skip aws cli and git as a most obvious ones)

Install Terraform

For that example, I used Amazon Linux, but for other os, find instructions here https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli

sudo yum install -y yum-utils

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/AmazonLinux/hashicorp.repo

sudo yum -y install terraform

Install nodejs

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

nvm install node

node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

Install cdktf

npm install --global cdktf-cli@latest

Install Docker

sudo yum install docker -y

sudo systemctl start docker.service

Note: Make sure you can run sudo docker <cdm> without request for sudo password!

How to use cdktf stack

Initiate the build

Note - main code entrypoint is main.ts

Check with Prerequisites section, if everything is in order, run the following script:

./startScript.sh

then - select Approve

As outputs you'll get next details:

• ALB endpoint
• pgAdmin username
• pgAdmin password

Destroy the stack

To destroy the stack, run the following script:

./destroyScript.sh
