Package that enables deployment of AWS CDK stacks in parallel.

Project description

B.CfnCustomUserPoolAuthorizer

Pipeline

An AWS CDK resource that mimics original UserPoolAuthorizer resource.

Description

This is a custom user pool authorizer used to protect API endpoints. It has exactly the same functionality and purpose as the original UserPoolAuthorizer. The main reason why you would want to use this custom authorizer instead of a default one - is that this custom authorizer can resolve user pool region, id, and client id from SSM parameters (AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store). This way your stacks no longer need a dependency to a stack containing user pool instance.

Remarks

Biomapas aims to modernise life-science industry by sharing its IT knowledge with other companies and the community. This is an open source library intended to be used by anyone. Improvements and pull requests are welcome.

  • Python3
  • AWS CDK
  • AWS CloudFormation
  • AWS Cognito
  • AWS Cognito User Pool
  • AWS API Gateway
  • AWS API Gateway Authorizer

Assumptions

This project assumes you are an expert in infrastructure-as-code via AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK. You must clearly understand how AWS API Gateway endpoints are protected with Authorizers / Custom Authorizers and how it is managed via CloudFormation or CDK. You must also understand the pain-points of stack dependencies and dependencies between microservices in general (which this package aims to solve).

  • Excellent knowledge in IaaC (Infrastructure as a Code) principles.
  • Excellent knowledge in Cognito, User Pool, API Gateway, Authorizers.
  • Good experience in AWS CDK and AWS CloudFormation.
  • Good Python skills and basis of OOP.

Usage & Examples

from aws_cdk.core import Stack
from aws_cdk.aws_cognito import UserPool, UserPoolClient
from aws_cdk.aws_apigatewayv2 import CfnApi

from b_cfn_custom_userpool_authorizer.config.user_pool_config import UserPoolConfig
from b_cfn_custom_userpool_authorizer.user_pool_custom_authorizer import UserPoolCustomAuthorizer

# Create user pool and client.
pool = UserPool(...)
client = UserPoolClient(...)

# Create an API Gateway API.
api = CfnApi(...)

# Create custom authorizer and use it in your endpoints (CfnRoute).
authorizer = UserPoolCustomAuthorizer(
    scope=Stack(...),
    name='MyCustomAuthorizer',
    api=api,
    user_pool_config=UserPoolConfig(
        user_pool_id=pool.user_pool_id,
        user_pool_region=pool.stack.region,
        user_pool_client_id=client.user_pool_client_id
