CDK-SPA-Deploy
This is an AWS CDK Construct to make deploying a single page website (Angular/React/Vue) to AWS S3 behind SSL/Cloudfront easier
Want to cut the line? Okay, here's the code repo!
Many readers will already be familiar with installing TypeScript and setting up linting and so forth. You can skip ahead to my repo to see what I did. If all this setup stuff gets you down, maybe check out projen. I'll call out a few of the dependencies I installed: esbuild, @aws-cdk/aws-s3, @aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment, react and react-dom. Again, check the repo because there are a lot of dependencies needed.
There's a lot to like about esbuild. It's written in golang and is very fast. It's a newer project, but it's gaining features like crazy. It's not quite as mature as webpack so it's still missing a few things like hot module reload, but workarounds exist. The docs are pretty good, but there's a lot of ground to cover for a tool like this. One thing that's easy to overlook is esbuild ships with a local dev server. No need to bring your own!
One way to do this is implement an S3 deployer with a nice interface like CDK-SPA-Deploy and then add an npm script like npm run build && cdk deploy, but doing that wouldn't achieve my dream of an integrated UI build to match my Lambda function build. To do that, we'll need to dig into a couple of modules.
