aws-infrastructure

Shared AWS infrastructure for mattgilbride.com, built with AWS CDK (v1) and TypeScript.

This stack provisions a wildcard SSL/TLS certificate and stores shared parameters in SSM Parameter Store so that other stacks can reference them.

What it creates

• Wildcard certificate (*.mattgilbride.com) via AWS Certificate Manager, validated through DNS against an existing Route 53 Hosted Zone
• SSM Parameter Store entries:
  • certificateArn — ARN of the wildcard certificate (used by CloudFront, ALBs, etc.)
  • domainName — the root domain name (mattgilbride.com)

Prerequisites

• Node.js 14+
• Yarn
• AWS CLI configured with credentials
• An existing Route 53 Hosted Zone for mattgilbride.com

Setup

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

   yarn install

2. Configure AWS credentials. Either set up the AWS CLI (aws configure) or copy the sample env file:

   cp .env-sample .env
   # fill in your values, then:
   source .env

Usage

Synthesize the CloudFormation template (to inspect without deploying):

make synth
# or
yarn synth

Deploy the stack:

make deploy
# or
yarn deploy

Tear down the stack:

yarn destroy
