This template provides a REST API that's backed by an Amazon DynamoDB table. This application is deployed using the AWS CDK.
For more information, see the Deploying with the AWS CDK tutorial.
First, you'll need to install the AWS CDK if you haven't already. The CDK requires Node.js and npm to run. See the Getting started with the AWS CDK for more details.
$ npm install -g aws-cdk
Next you'll need to install the requirements for the project.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
There's also separate requirements files in the infrastructure
and runtime directories if you'd prefer to have separate virtual
environments for your CDK and Chalice app.
To deploy the application, cd to the infrastructure directory.
If this is you're first time using the CDK you'll need to bootstrap
your environment.
$ cdk bootstrap
Then you can deploy your application using the CDK.
$ cdk deploy
This project template combines a CDK application and a Chalice application.
These correspond to the infrastructure and runtime directory
respectively. To run any CDK CLI commands, ensure you're in the
infrastructure directory, and to run any Chalice CLI commands ensure
you're in the runtime directory.
