AWS CDK Integration

[omarqureshi]

Hi there

Came across your project as I wanted to demonstrate a way to see what work would be required to run Rails apps as lambdas using the work that I've done on JSII to add Ruby language bindings.

In terms of what I have so far, I have:

• An RFC at Ruby language bindings RFC aws/aws-cdk-rfcs#939
• A JSII implementation at feat(ruby): Ruby language bindings aws/jsii#5178
• A minimal CDK change to add Ruby support for each AWS CDK module - feat(ruby): add Ruby language bindings for AWS CDK aws/aws-cdk#38248
• A self-hosted bit of documentation on CDK usage at https://rubygems.omarqureshi.net/docs/AWSCDK/index.html
• A reference implementation of straight Ruby lambda deployments for my blog at https://github.com/omarqureshi/blog/blob/main/infra/app.rb

My thoughts are that this would be an opportunity to replace the SAM templates that you use for deployment with a CDK application that can be written and Ruby and do the Lambda bundling as part of the deployment.

I will have some capacity next weekend to look at what that work entails

Thoughts?

This project doesn’t require AWS SAM, you can use whatever you’d like to deploy (AWS sam, terraform, cdk, etc…). Replacing templates doesn’t make much sense since again it’s just an example. Also AWS SAM has the least amount of setup and dependencies.
