Implode your AWS CDK Stack after set amount of time, save money, be happy!

In your Typescipt / Javascript AWS CDK project, add the cdk-time-bomb module:

npm install cdk-time-bomb

Import the module and instantiate in your CDK Stack class. Specify a TTL Duration after which time the entire CloudFormation stack will self destroy:

import { SelfDestruct} from 'cdk-time-bomb';
const selfDestruct = new SelfDestruct(this, "selfDestructor", {
  timeToLive: Duration.minutes(60)
});

Be sure to add an ordering dependency on a high level base Construct in your stack. For example anchoring SelfDestruct to the Vpc ensures all resources in the stack will be destroyed prior to destroying itself.

const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, "VPC", {
});

vpc.node.addDependency(selfDestruct);

Install using pip

pip install cdk-time-bomb

Follow the guide for configuring maven for use with Github Packages. Then add the following to your project's pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>jmb12686.cdk</groupId>
  <artifactId>timebomb</artifactId>
  <version>1.50.0</version>
</dependency>

Due to the large amount of dependencies required by jsii, use the docker image udondan/jsii-publish to reliably and consistenly build this CDK construct.
