CDK Custom AWS Resource Constructor

Overview

This npm package provides a custom AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) resource constructor designed for creating AWS resources with an emphasis on compliance with SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) standards. Some of the requirements by SOC2 are cloudwatch error alarm for lambda function, cloudwatch read and write capacity unit alarm and point in time recovery for dynamodb table, latency response time for aplication load balancer, etc

Features

Enables developers to easily integrate SOC 2 compliant resources into their AWS infrastructure.

Installation

You can install this package via npm:

npm i bridge-aws-resources

If you run into peer dependency error (the aws-cdk-lib version might differe between your project and this package), you can install with --force flag

npm i bridge-aws-resources --force

Usage

To use this package in your CDK project, import the custom resource constructor and utilize it to create your AWS resources. Here's a basic example of how to use it:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { BridgeLambda } from 'bridge-aws-resources/lib';

export class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // Creating a SOC 2 compliant AWS resource

    const myLambda = new BridgeLambda(this, 'MyLambdaHandler', {
        functionName: "my-lambda-hanlder",
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.PROVIDED_AL2,
        code: lambda.Code.fromAsset("pkg/lambda/bin"),
        handler: "bootstrap",
        memorySize: 2000,
        timeout: cdk.Duration.seconds(30),
        retryAttempts: 1,
      // Specify other resource configuration here
    });


    // sepecify any alarm actions

    mylambda.lambdaErrorAlarm.addAlarmAction();
  }
}
