Terraform CDK (CDKTF)

In this setup, we'll utilize the /cdktf directory's Typescript Terraform CDK code to handle creating the resources we need.

1. Install Terraform CLI

2. Install the CDKTF CLI

   pnpm install -g cdktf-cli

3. Install dependencies in /cdktf directory

   1. Run pnpm i in the /cdktf directory

4. Deploy CDKTF resources

   1. In the /cdktf directory, run: pnpm run build:deploy

   2. Make note of the API Gateway ID that is output in your terminal after running pnpm run build:deploy, you'll need it to query your API Gateway endpoint. Example:

      aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api: Creation complete after 1s [id=1ltvwqpuju]
      

   3. This convenience function will build the source CDKTF Typescript files and deploy your resources to LocalStack.

5. Query your API Gateway endpoint!
