Amazon API Gateway integration with WAF

This pattern in CDK offers a example to generate an Amazon API Gateway with a greedy proxy (“{proxy+}”) and “ANY” method from the specified path, meaning it will accept by default any method and any path. The VPC Lambda function provided in JavaScript only returns the path.

Deployment Instructions

1. Create a new directory, navigate to that directory in a terminal and clone the GitHub repository:

   git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns
   

2. Change directory to the pattern directory its source code folder:

   cd apig-waf/src
   

3. From the command line, use npm to install the development dependencies:

   npminstall

4. To deploy from the command line use the following:

     npx cdk bootstrap aws://accountnumber/region
     npx cdk deploy --app 'ts-node .' --all
   

Testing

• Locate WAFAPIGatewayApi.ApiUrl from output printed by cdk, this is the api endpoint to be invoked
  In a browser

```https://<api_id>.execute-api.<region>.amazonaws.com/prod```

You should see: ```Success path: "/"```

Cleanup

1. From the command line, use the following in the source folder

   npx cdk destroy --app 'ts-node .' --all
   

2. Confirm the removal and wait for the resource deletion to complete.
