This is intended to be a repo containing all of the official AWS Serverless architecture patterns built with AWS CDK for developers to use.

Follow @CdkPatterns for live discussion / new pattern announcements. I plan to add a new pattern weekly so check back regularly!

You can also check out our Deconstructing CDKPatterns YouTube channel for in depth walk throughs of the patterns.

Note, this is maintained by @nideveloper not AWS. For my motivation, please read this blog post

New to AWS CDK?

Pattern Usage

All patterns are available in Typescript and Python so pick your favourite language! Note the Typescript patterns all include unit tests but right now I have not seen a standard python testing approach

You can always clone this repo which contains every pattern in python/typescript but if you just want a single pattern in one language follow these steps:

1) Choose your pattern

Browse the "Grouped Alphabetically" patterns list below or run:

npx cdkp list

2) Download Pattern In Python or Typescript CDK

Something to be aware of is that the Python version may reuse the JS lambdas from the TypeScript version. This is to reduce the amount of development effort when creating these patterns. It means at launch the TypeScript and Python patterns are effectively identical when deployed but you get the choice of Python or TypeScript for the CDK implementation.

I will look to refactor the Python patterns slowly to full Python after initial launch. If you want to help with this effort, pull requests are always welcome!

TypeScript
All Patterns support the same commands so you can just run:
npx cdkp init {pattern-name}
cd {pattern-name}
npm run test
# requires you to be using cloud9 or have ran aws configure to setup your local credentials
npm run deploy 
Python
The CDK CLI is still installed via npm so make sure you have the latest version of node installed or the npx commands will fail. Then you can just run:
npx cdkp init {pattern-name} --lang=python
cd {pattern-name}

# create a virtual env and install your dependencies
python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# test everything is working by outputting the cloudformation
npx cdk synth
# requires you to be using cloud9 or have ran aws configure to setup your local credentials
npx cdk deploy

Patterns

The Filter Pattern By Component Used Page allows you to filter patterns by a serverless component e.g. Lambda or API Gateway HTTP API visit, otherwise:

Grouped Alphabetically

Use Amazon Polly to translate text to speech from inside a Lambda Function. You can also take advantage of Amazon Translate to change the language of the spoken text

Architecture




Single Page Application S3 Website Deploy

These are built using https://www.npmjs.com/package/cdk-spa-deploy and allow you to deploy a website in as little as 5 lines of CDK code.

Architecture




Deploy an Alexa Skill backed by a Lambda Function and a DynamoDB Table.

Architecture




In this example we have private Amazon MQ brokers behind an internet-facing network load balancer endpoint using a subdomain.

Architecture




You can integrate API Gateway directly with SNS and then add some resiliency by integrating your event consumers via sqs and message filtering.

Architecture




Build and deploy a well architected CloudWatch dashboard with alerts for the simple webservice pattern

Architecture




This is a stock implementation of Lambda Destinations with Amazon EventBridge

You can decouple your event driven architectures with EventBridge rules and now you can strip the custom EventBridge code from your Lambda functions with Lambda Destinations.

You can now attach an EFS File System to your Lambda Function for persistence between executions or across different Functions

Serverless Well Architected Pattern Matcher

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of decisions you make while building systems on AWS. By using the Framework, you will learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud. It provides a way for you to consistently measure your architectures against best practices and identify areas for improvement. We believe that having well-architected systems greatly increases the likelihood of business success.
