CDK Contruct for Unleash feature flags

CDK Contruct library that allows you to deploy Unleash feature-flags on AWS without effort.

Please visit https://www.getunleash.io/open-source if you are interested in the open source version of the software

Installation

npm i cdk-unleash

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cdk-unleash

Sample

Here you can find samples, please head to example folder for more details

Simple

import { CdkUnleash } from 'cdk-unleash';

const app = new cdk.App();

const env = {
  region: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_REGION,
  account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT,
};

const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'unleash-stack', { env });

new CdkUnleash(stack, `unleash`);
// A set of default are applied (please visit the #Defaults section)
// After deploy, unleash will be available using the public Alb address (see outputs)

Properties Override

Almost every property is overridable, in this example I specified RETAIN for removal policy and changed ecs container numbers

import { CdkUnleash } from 'cdk-unleash';

const app = new cdk.App();

const env = {
  region: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_REGION,
  account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT,
};

const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'unleash-stack', { env });

new CdkUnleash(stack, `unleash`, {
    // Overriding rds properties
    rds: {
        dbName: "unleashDb",
        removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.RETAIN
    },
    // Overriding ecs properties
    ecsService: {
        minimumTaskCount: 2,
        maximumTaskCount: 10,
    }
});

Custom domain and https

import * as route53 from '@aws-cdk/aws-route53';
import { CdkUnleash } from 'cdk-unleash';

const app = new cdk.App();

const env = {
  region: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_REGION,
  account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT,
};

const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'unleash-stack', { env });

new CdkUnleash(stack, `unleash`, {
    domain: {
        certificateArn: '<your-certificate-acm-arn>',
        domainName: 'subdomain.yourdomain.com',
        hostedZone: route53.HostedZone.fromHostedZoneAttributes(stack, 'HostedZone', {
            hostedZoneId: 'HOSTEDZONEID',
            zoneName: 'yourdomain.com'
        }),
    }
});

Defaults

A set of decisions are applied to ensure the construct is usable without too many tweaking, here are the current construct defaults:

VPC

Subnetting
- DB is in an isolated subnet
- ECS is in a private_with_nat subnet
- ALB is in a public subnet

RDS

Cluster
- db engine is aurora postgres (the engine supported by unleash)
- storage is encrypted by default
Backups
- backups are performed every day in a window: 01:00-02:00
- backups retention period is 30 days
Instances
- instance size is the smaller possible for postgres (tg4-medium), instanceProps can be passed to opt for a different sizing

ECS

Service
- service default count is 1 (to reduce costs), can be changed
- autoscaling is supported, just pass a (>1) maximumTaskCount
- autoscaling happens on CPU usage: > 60%
Logs
- logs enabled by default with a standard logDriver
- logs retention period is 30 days

Please head to lib/index.ts for the updated list of default applied.

You should explore the contents of this project. It demonstrates a CDK Construct Library that includes a construct (CdkUnleash) which contains an Amazon SQS queue that is subscribed to an Amazon SNS topic.

The construct defines an interface (CdkUnleashProps) to configure the visibility timeout of the queue.

Useful commands

npm run build compile typescript to js
