Production-ready AWS website deployment with minimal configuration.
npm install aws-simple aws-cdk
Warning: The current version is an entirely new implementation and is currently not yet tested in production. I will remove this warning as soon as I have enough experience with the latest version. Until then, I recommend using the old version for production environments:
npm install aws-simple@10.0.3 aws-cdk
The following are the steps to deploy a website using aws-simple and the AWS
CDK.
Create a config file named aws-simple.config.js, which exports a function that
describes a website stack:
// @ts-check
/** @type {import('aws-simple').ConfigFileDefaultExport} */
exports.default = (port) => {
return {
hostedZoneName: `example.com`,
routes: [{type: `file`, publicPath: `/`, path: `dist/index.html`}],
};
};
The exported function optionally gets a DEV server port argument when called
in the context of the aws-simple start [options] CLI command.
Create a public hosted zone on AWS Route 53 to make a website available
under a particular domain. The required certificate is created automatically by
aws-simple during deployment.
Create an AWS IAM user with programmatic access and an AWS IAM policy with sufficient permissions.
Set the credentials of the AWS IAM user using the two environment variables,
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Alternatively, the credentials
are retrieved using the AWS profile.
Set the AWS region using either the environment variable AWS_REGION or
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION evaluated in the specified order. Alternatively, the region
is retrieved using the AWS profile.
npx cdk bootstrap --app 'npx aws-simple synthesize'
npx cdk deploy --app 'npx aws-simple synthesize' && npx aws-simple upload
npx aws-simple start
Usage: aws-simple <command> [options]
Commands:
aws-simple synthesize [options] Synthesize the configured stack using the CDK.
aws-simple upload [options] Upload all referenced files to the S3 bucket of the configured stack.
aws-simple list [options] List all deployed stacks filtered by the specified hosted zone name.
aws-simple delete [options] Delete the specified stack.
aws-simple tag [options] Update the tags of the specified stack.
aws-simple purge [options] Delete all expired stacks filtered by the specified hosted zone name.
aws-simple flush-cache [options] Flush the REST API cache of the specified stack.
aws-simple redeploy [options] Redeploy the REST API of the specified stack.
aws-simple start [options] Start a local DEV server.
Options:
--version Show version number [boolean]
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
exports.default = (port) => {
return {
hostedZoneName: `example.com`,
aliasRecordName: `stage`, // <==
routes: [{type: `file`, publicPath: `/`, path: `dist/index.html`}],
};
};
An optional alias record name allows multiple website variants to be deployed
and operated simultaneously. Example: stage.example.com, test.example.com
Except for the specified hosted zone, the website variants do not share any infrastructure. For the management of multiple website variants, there are the following two CLI commands:

onSynthesize hooksTo implement advanced features, onSynthesize hooks can be used. Below are two
examples.
