Preliminaries

Install AWS CDK

# Using NPM
$ > npm install -g aws-cdk

# Using Yarn
$ > yarn global add aws-cdk

Configure AWS CLI

Generate an Access Key and Secret Access Key for your AWS account.

$ > export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="…"
$ > export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="…"
$ > export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="…"

Bootstrap AWS CDK

Configure GitHub Token

Create a personal access token in GitHub and store it in AWS SecretsManager. The token needs permissions to read your (private) repositories and configure webhooks.

$ > aws secretsmanager create-secret \
    --name GitHubToken \
    --secret-string abcdefg1234abcdefg56789abcdefg \
    --region us-east-1

{
  "ARN": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789001:secret:GitHubToken-uNBxTr",
  "Name": "GitHubToken",
  "VersionId": "4acda3d1-877f-4032-b38e-17bc50239883"
