Single Page Application (SPA) Cloud Architecture

Overview

This cloud infrastructure is centered around four major components: Route 53 for DNS management, CloudFront to serve static assets, AWS Certificate Manager for TLS/SSL certificates, and Simple Storage Service (S3) to store these assets.

Pre-requisites

1. Register a new domain name with AWS Route 53
2. Request an ACM Certificate associated with your Route 53 domain name
3. Create CNAME records for the ACM Certificate through ACM Certificate AWS console
4. Install and configure the AWS CLI
5. Install and bootstrap the CDK CLI

NOTE: Requesting an ACM SSL/TLS Certificate can take around 30 minutes or more

Exporting environment variables

Create an .env file and add the following environment variables listed in the .env.example file:

DOMAIN_NAME='example.com'
SUBDOMAIN='www'
ROUTE_53_HOSTED_ZONE_ID='example.com hosted zone id'
CERTIFICATE_ARN='ACM certificate ARN for example.com'
