Create a PostgreSQL DB with AWS CDK and TypeScript.
This project sets up an AWS infrastructure using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to deploy a PostgreSQL database instance and a Lambda function.
The PostgreSQL instance is created within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and is secured using a security group that allows PostgreSQL access.
The database credentials are securely stored in AWS Secrets Manager.Additionally, a Lambda function is deployed to initialize the database, and it is granted access to the database credentials.
The Lambda function is triggered after the RDS instance is created to perform any necessary initialization tasks. This setup ensures a secure and automated deployment of a PostgreSQL database with initialization logic encapsulated in a Lambda function.
AWS CDK comes with two important tools:
- The AWS CDK v2 standard library, which includes constructs for each of the AWS services
- The CDK CLI, which is a command-line tool for interacting with apps and stacks
Is highly recommend you create a separate account while you’re developing with CDK rather than using the account you normally use in your day-to-day activities.
