Personal Website CDK Infrastructure

This project contains the Infrastructure as Code for my Personal Website https://www.manuelenolli.ch using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

Requirements

• node: 20.16.0
• yarn: 1.22.22

Installation and Usage

yarn install

yarn deploy:first # will create the S3 buckets

Once NextJS is built and pushed to the S3 bucket (Just execute the Github action), you can deploy the rest:

yarn deploy

AWS Infrastructure

The website is hosted on AWS using the following services:

• Amazon S3: Static website hosting
• AWS Lambda: Serverless functions (Yes, NextJs Server Side Rendering on AWS Lambda 😄)
• Amazon API Gateway: API management
• Amazon CloudFront: Content delivery network
• Amazon Route 53*: Domain name management
• Amazon Certificate Manager*: SSL certificates
• Amazon WAF*: Web application firewall
• Amazon Simple Email Service: Manage email

* These services are not implemented in this project, the CDK stack creates until the CloudFront distribution, this is because the additional services are customisable and I added them manually.I personally followed this Developer Guide.

The AWS Infrastructure can be seen in the following diagram:

Must do manually

As mentioned above, some services are not implemented in this project, if you want to deploy the infrastructure as I did, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create your domain in Route 53 as an Hosted Zone (you should configure the NS records in your domain provider)
2. Create a certificate in ACM for your domain (you should validate the certificate by adding a CNAME record in Route 53)
3. Enable WAF in CloudFront and configure the rules as you wish
