Tacklebox requires that users have an account with AWS, have set up an AWS CLI configuration as well as have installed the AWS CDK on their local machine. If you have not already done so, please visit Configuring the AWS CLI and Configuring the AWS CDK for instructions. Tacklebox will use the default credentials and region specified within that profile in order to interact with AWS services.
To install Tacklebox globally to be able to run commands, run:
npm install -g tacklebox-webhooksTacklebox commands conform to the following structure:
tacklebox <commandName>
Used to deploy AWS infrastructure. Once the process finishes, you will be provided with the API Host, which is the base URL you will use to communicate with the Tacklebox API, and the API Key, which is the key the Tacklebox API uses to authenticate you.
The deploy command will create instances of the below:
- API Gateway resource
- Lambda functions
- RDS instance with PostgreSQL
- VPC
- IAM roles
Run management UI locally.

Documentation of commands.
Tacklebox deploys instances of multiple AWS services. While these instances can be deleted
using the destroy command, they can also be accessed and modified using the
AWS CLI or via the
web console.
Tacklebox does not guarantee delivery of messages in the order in which they are generated.
