- API Gateway
- Lambda
- DynamoDB
- S3
- Cloudfront
- SES
It runs completely serverless - free of any inflexible hardware infrastructure. The whole system running as a team of small misroservices means that the running expenses are without any overhead even at the smallest scale.
- Have an AWS account
- Have your domain/subdomain set up in Route53
- make sure you can receive email on one of the following adressees for https certificate generation (if you dont have mail server set up, you can use https://github.com/sirceljm/AWS-SES-simple-mail-forward to forward emails to your email address)
- administrator@domain.com
- hostmaster@domain.com
- postmaster@domain.com
- webmaster@domain.com
- admin@domain.com
- request a new certificate in AWS ACM (https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home?region=us-east-1#/) (HAS TO BE ISSUED IN us-east-1 REGION!!!)
- if you are using just the domain - certificate name should be domain.com
- if you are using subdomain - certificate name should be subdomain.domain.com or *.domain.com
- download this repo, unzip and cd to project folder
- run
npm install - Create a new user in IAM
- [IAM -> Users -> Add User -> Access type -> check Programmatic access]
- On the last step click on "Download .csv file" and save the file in project folder
- Add permissions to the user
- [IAM -> Users -> your_user -> Permissions -> Add inline policy -> Custom policy]
- Copy the following JSON and give your inline policy a name
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1481118325000",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iam:CreatePolicy",
"iam:CreateRole",
"iam:GetPolicy",
"iam:GetRole",

"iam:AttachRolePolicy",
"iam:PassRole",
"route53:ListHostedZones",
"acm:ListCertificates"
],
"Resource": [
"*"
]
}
]
}- (install script will add other permisions that are necessary for installation)
- run
node install.js - wizard will take you through the process of installation
- if everything went smooth you should see your page after CloudFront changes resolve (usually takes around 15 minutes)
- download this repo, unzip and cd to project folder
- run
npm install - Create a new user in IAM (you will put this user name into install_config.js later)
- [IAM -> Users -> Add User -> Access type -> check Programmatic access]
- Copy account keys for the user and make a json file that looks like this:
{
"accessKeyId": "AK************",
"secretAccessKey": "BX**********************",
