BuzzerboyAWSLightsail 0.335.1

Buzzerboy Architecture for Deploying Web Applications on AWS LightSail

AWS Infrastructure with CDKTF (Python)

This project uses the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (CDKTF) with Python to define and deploy AWS infrastructure using named AWS profiles via ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config.

---

✅ Prerequisites

1. Install Required Tools

Make sure the following tools are installed:

• Node.js (v16 or later)
• npm
• Terraform CLI
• Python 3.7+
• AWS CLI

macOS Example:

brew install node
brew install terraform
brew install python
brew install awscli

2. Install CDKTF CLI

npm install -g cdktf-cli

3a. Configure AWS CLI (Option 1 - Use AWS Provided Tooling)

aws configure --profile myprofile

This creates or updates the following files:

~/.aws/credentials:

[myprofile]
aws_access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY

~/.aws/config:

[profile myprofile]
region=us-west-2
output=json

3b. Configure AWS CLI (Option 2 - Use Open Source AWS Login - Recommended)

3b - 1. Clone the code repo from Fahad Zain Jawaid

git clone https://github.com/fahadzainjawaid/awsIdentityTools

You can follow the ReadMe on the repo above to get latest usage and setup guides.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install the package

pip install pip install BBAWSLightsailMiniV1a

2. Set Up Python Environment & Install Dependencies

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
export PIPENV_VERBOSITY=-1
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Install AWS Provider Bindings

cdktf get

4. Synthesize Terraform Configuration

cdktf synth

5. Review the Plan

cdktf plan

6. Deploy the Infrastructure

cdktf deploy

7. Destroy the Infrastructure (if needed)

cdktf destroy

✅ ArchitectureMaker Usage

The preferred entrypoint is ArchitectureMaker, which builds stacks from a simple definition dict. Examples are mirrored in the samples directory.

Container + Database (default)

from BuzzerboyAWSLightsailStack import ArchitectureMaker

definition = {
    "product": "bb",
    "name": "sample-container-db",
    "tier": "dev",
    "organization": "buzzerboy",
    "region": "us-east-1",
}

ArchitectureMaker.auto_main(definition, include_compliance=False)

Container Only

from BuzzerboyAWSLightsailStack import ArchitectureMaker

definition = {
    "product": "bb",
    "name": "sample-container",
    "tier": "dev",
    "organization": "buzzerboy",
    "region": "us-east-1",
}

ArchitectureMaker.auto_main_container_only(definition, include_compliance=False)

Database Only

from BuzzerboyAWSLightsailStack import ArchitectureMaker

definition = {
    "product": "bb",
    "name": "sample-db",
    "tier": "dev",
    "organization": "buzzerboy",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "databases": ["app_db", "analytics_db", "logging_db", "audit_db"],
}

ArchitectureMaker.auto_stack_db_only(definition, include_compliance=False)

Example cdktf.json

{
  "language": "python",
  "app": "python main.py",
  "projectId": "9bad9bb7-b21d-4513-9ce9-74a6e2f7e0d9",
  "sendCrashReports": "true",
  "terraformProviders": [
    "aws@~> 5.0",
    "random@~> 3.5",
    "null@~> 3.2"
  ],
  "terraformModules": [],
  "codeMakerOutput": "imports",
  "context": {}
}
