SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AWS Blocks provides an Infrastructure-from-Code framework to accelerate backend development by combining multiple building blocks into a cohesive backend architecture, enabling teams to build, test, and deploy full-stack apps without managing multiple cloud services manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One aws-blocks directory defines the entire backend and provides end-to-end wiring with local mocks for offline development.
  • Building Blocks cover storage, authentication, real-time, background jobs, and observability, all accessible through a consistent API.
  • Use Case: scaffold new projects quickly, iterate on API design, and deploy sandbox environments for testing and collaboration.

Quick Start

Scaffold a new app with the AWS Blocks CLI and start the local development sandbox.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a full-stack backend with AWS using infrastructure from code?▼

AWS Blocks provides an Infrastructure-from-Code framework that combines multiple building blocks like storage and authentication into a cohesive backend architecture, letting teams build, test, and deploy apps without manually managing multiple cloud services.

How do I set up local development mocks for an AWS backend?▼

You set up local development mocks by defining a single project directory with explicit, typed integration. Local mocks are persisted in a dedicated data folder, enabling offline development and testing without requiring a live cloud connection.

What building blocks are available for backend infrastructure as code?▼

Available building blocks for backend infrastructure include KVStore, DistributedTable, Database, AuthBasic, AuthCognito, Realtime, AsyncJob, and FileBucket, all accessible through a consistent API covering storage, authentication, and background jobs.

Can I deploy sandbox and production environments for full-stack apps using npm scripts?▼

Yes, you can deploy sandbox and production environments using npm scripts. The framework provides deployable workflows that allow you to easily push your configured building blocks to sandbox environments for testing or production for live use.

Does infrastructure from code work for scaffolding new API projects quickly?▼

Yes, infrastructure from code works for scaffolding new projects quickly. You can scaffold a new app with the CLI, iterate on API design using local mocks, and deploy sandbox environments for testing and collaboration.
