An example of running rambler migrations on deploy with the CDK.

This project sets up:

• a VPC
• an RDS Aurora Serverless cluster
• alternative 1: a Lambda function in the VPC with access to the cluster
• alternative 2: an ECS/Fargate task definition in the VPC with access to the cluster

The lambda migrator is an AWS NodeJS docker with rambler added. The lambda is triggered using a "Custom Resource" on deploy.

To avoid exposing passwords via environment variables there's a thin NodeJS wrapper that fetches the password from secrets manager and passes it to Rambler.

The ECS migrator is a Fargate task built from a vanilla alpine docker with rambler added. It is triggered on deploy using the cdk-fargate-run-task package (which most likely uses a custom resource, i.e. lambda, under the hood) which runs a one time task.

Based on the blank TS template.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.

• npm run build compile typescript to js
• npm run watch watch for changes and compile
• npm run test perform the jest unit tests
• cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
• cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
• cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
