(Internal) Data states & persistence model

Major Business Rules

Permissions & Access Control

Change Management

Versioning strategy

E.g. Manual tagging of git commits following Semantic Versioning (semver) guidelines.

Release management

The service employs a fully automated CI/CD pipeline that automatically builds and releases all changes to the main code branch.

Infrastructure & Deployment

Short description with diagrams where appropriate. Deployment settings / configuration (e.g. CodePipeline(s) / automated builds).

Infrastructure and deployment are managed via CDK.

Stateless

• Lambdas
• StepFunctions

CDK Commands

You can access CDK commands using the pnpm wrapper script.

• cdk-stateless: Used to deploy stacks containing stateless resources (e.g., AWS Lambda), which can be easily redeployed without side effects.

The type of stack to deploy is determined by the context set in the ./bin/deploy.ts file. This ensures the correct stack is executed based on the provided context.

For example:

# Deploy a stateless stack
pnpm cdk-stateless <command>

Stacks

This CDK project manages multiple stacks. The root stack (the only one that does not include DeploymentPipeline in its stack ID) is deployed in the toolchain account and sets up a CodePipeline for cross-environment deployments to beta, gamma, and prod.

To list all available stacks, run:

pnpm cdk-stateless ls

Example output:

OrcaBusStatelessCaseManagerStack
OrcaBusStatelessCaseManagerStack/DeploymentPipeline/OrcaBusBeta/CaseManagerStack (OrcaBusBeta-CaseManagerStack)
OrcaBusStatelessCaseManagerStack/DeploymentPipeline/OrcaBusGamma/CaseManagerStack (OrcaBusGamma-CaseManagerStack)
OrcaBusStatelessCaseManagerStack/DeploymentPipeline/OrcaBusProd/CaseManagerStack (OrcaBusProd-CaseManagerStack)

Development

Project Structure

The root of the project is an AWS CDK project where the main application logic lives inside the ./app folder.

The project is organized into the following key directories:

• ./app: Contains the main application logic. You can open the code editor directly in this folder, and the application should run independently.

• ./bin/deploy.ts: Serves as the entry point of the application.

• ./infrastructure: Contains the infrastructure code for the project:

  • ./infrastructure/toolchain: Includes stacks for the stateless and stateful resources deployed in the toolchain account. These stacks primarily set up the CodePipeline for cross-environment deployments.
  • ./infrastructure/stage: Defines the stage stacks for different environments:
    • ./infrastructure/stage/config.ts: Contains environment-specific configuration files (e.g., beta, gamma, prod).
    • ./infrastructure/stage/stack.ts: The CDK stack entry point for provisioning resources required by the application in ./app.

• .github/workflows/pr-tests.yml: Configures GitHub Actions to run tests for make check (linting and code style), tests defined in ./test, and make test for the ./app directory. Modify this file as needed to ensure the tests are properly configured for your environment.

• ./test: Contains tests for CDK code compliance against cdk-nag. You should modify these test files to match the resources defined in the ./infrastructure folder.

Setup

Requirements

node --version
v22.9.0

# Update Corepack (if necessary, as per pnpm documentation)
npm install --global corepack@latest

# Enable Corepack to use pnpm
corepack enable pnpm

Install Dependencies

To install all required dependencies, run:

make install

Conventions

Linting & Formatting

Automated checks are enforces via pre-commit hooks, ensuring only checked code is committed. For details consult the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

Manual, on-demand checking is also available via make targets (see below). For details consult the Makefile in the root of the project.

To run linting and formatting checks on the root project, use:

make check

To automatically fix issues with ESLint and Prettier, run:

make fix

Testing

Unit tests are available for most of the business logic. Test code is hosted alongside business in /tests/ directories.

make test
