README

This repository houses technical back end spikes being carried out by the GOV.UK App team.

How the repository is laid out

  • There is a terraform directory which contains Terraform code for provisioning longer-lived resources in AWS such as VPCs, S3 buckets, etc.
  • There will be an applications directory which will contain applications that run business logic. These are administered using CDK to make writing serverless applications more straightforward. We will use Parameter Store to share necessary data between Terraform and CDK.

Getting started

To install the currently-used version of Terraform:

brew install tfenv
cd terraform/
tfenv install

Pre-commit hooks

There are some pre-commit hooks which are recommended. The pre-commit tool needs to be installed in order to use it.
