CDK Serverless

CDK Serverless is a tool suite to facilitate the use of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) in serverless architectures. It provides project management features to configure your TypeScript CDK app and also higher-level (L3) constructs for different APIs and resources needed for serverless applications. Additionally, it leverages utility libraries to write Lambda functions and do live updates to Lambda function code during development.

Features

• Projen helper classes to configure certain use cases easily
• AWS CDK L3-construct for RestApi and GraphQlApi
• Zero-config for Lambda functions and VTL templates
• Live update to Lambda function code using cdk-watch
• Automatic DynamoDB SingleTable infrastructure
• Automatic monitoring added for Lambda functions and APIs
• Full features of CDK usable to implement your special use cases
• Fully typed auto-completion for routes, resolvers, etc.

Quick Start

To start a new project we recommend using projen. To use CDK Serverless you can create any projen CDK Typescript app and then add the appropriate aspect provided by this toolkit.

$ npx projen new awscdk-app-ts

Adding CDK Serverless is a two step process:

1. Add 'cdk-serverless' as a dependency to your project
2. Run npx projen to install it
