Introduction

• Build your first app with AWS CDK

• Install AWS CDK

  npm install -g aws-cdk
  

• Create app folder

  mkdir sample-app
  cd sample-app
  

• Initialize the cdk app

  cdk init sample-app --language typescript
  

• Open the folder in VSCode - the project structure should look like this:

  

• App Entry Point:

  bin/sample-app.ts
  

  

  Class SampleAppStack is imported from lib/sample-app-stack.ts which is the main stack for the application. This is all that we need from this file for now.

• Main Stack

  lib/sample-app-stack.ts
  

  

  As you can see, SampleAppStack is created now with the following resources:

  • SQS Queue:

    new sqs.Queue
    

  • SNS Topic:

    new sns.Topic
    

  • SNS Topic Subscription:

    new subs.SqsSubscription(queue)
