Just a simple repository to explore cdk with .net/f#. The goal is to deploy an f# web api to aws ecs with cdk.

The api is written in f# and dockerized. To quickly run it, run the run.sh file which will build the image and run its container. The application can be accessed on localhost:5432/helloworld.

This repository was written for mac os, but installation on other operating systems should not be much different.

• install aws deploy: dotnet tool install -g aws.deploy.cli (source)
• install node.js (source)

• authenticate with aws
• run dotnet aws deploy
• choose the name of your stack
• choose deployment options (we are going to chose ecs)
• [TODO] we're going to have to change some advanced settings as it looks like the application gets automatically deployed to fargate while our preference is ec2
• [TODO] looks like aws deploy uses cloudformation by default

• Following this article: dotnet --list-sdk. Only touches on the dotnet tool. Not super useful.
• https://github.com/aws/aws-dotnet-deploy - this is more fleshed out, uses CDK behind the scenes. Very basic setup, but works.
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/work-with-cdk-csharp.html - basic principles of cdk, not very useful from the hot swapping perspective.
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/dotnet/api/index.html - reference. Not tremendously useful to begin with.
• https://cdkworkshop.com/40-dotnet.html - basic, not very useful.
