  1. Change the region in the cdk.context.json to the one where your want to deploy. Default is us-east-2.

  2. Run yarn (recommended) or npm install

  3. Go to the resources folder cd resources.

  4. Run yarn add --arch=x64 --platform=linux sharp or npm install --arch=x64 --platform=linux sharp to build sharp for Lambda.

  5. Go back to the root and run yarn cdk deploy --profile profileName to deploy the stack to your specified region. You can skip providing the profile name if it is default. You can learn about creating profiles using the aws-cli here.

  6. Now you can add image/s in the photos folder in S3 and check after a couple of seconds that images in a folder named thumbnails is generated by Lambda via SQS.

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