# B.AwsCdkParallel

A python based package that enables AWS CDK parallel stack deployments.

### Description

One of the biggest downsides of AWS CDK IaC tool is the sequential deployments.
If you have many stacks within your project - it can take hours and hours till
everything gets deployed. Wouldn't it be cool to parallelize them? According to
AWS CDK tool maintainers - they are not even thinking right now to include such
functionality. Hence, this project was built. This project allows you to run
traditional `cdk deploy *` and `cdk destroy * -f`. But the main trick is that it
can do it in parallel - massively increasing the speed of your deployments.

### Remarks

[Biomapas](https://biomapas.com) aims to modernise life-science
industry by sharing its IT knowledge with other companies and
the community. This is an open source library intended to be used
by anyone. Improvements and pull requests are welcome.

Some techniques and inspirations were taken from this blog post:

https://taimos.de/blog/deploying-your-cdk-app-to-different-stages-and-environments

General issue is being discussed on github:

https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/1973

### Related technology

- Python 3
- AWS CDK
- AWS CloudFormation

### Assumptions

The project assumes the following:

- You have basic-good knowledge in python programming.
- You have basic-good knowledge in AWS.
- You have very good knowledge in AWS CDK.

### Useful sources

- Read more AWS CDK:

### Install

The project is built and uploaded to PyPi. Install it by using pip.

```
pip install b_aws_cdk_parallel
```

Or directly install it through source.

```
pip install .
```

### Usage & Examples

#### Programmatic usage

The quickest and easiest example:

```python
from b_aws_cdk_parallel.deployment_executor import DeploymentExecutor
from b_aws_cdk_parallel.deployment_type import DeploymentType

executor = DeploymentExecutor(type=DeploymentType.DEPLOY)
executor.run()

executor = DeploymentExecutor(type=DeploymentType.DESTROY)
executor.run()
```

The more advanced example to deploy/destroy:

```python
from b_aws_cdk_parallel.deployment_executor import DeploymentExecutor
from b_aws_cdk_parallel.deployment_type import DeploymentType
from b_aws_cdk_parallel.cdk_arguments import CdkArguments

executor = DeploymentExecutor(
type=DeploymentType.DEPLOY, # Or DESTROY
# You can specify a full path to your CDK app.
path='/optional/path/to/cdk/app',
# You can specify OS-level global parameters.
env={
'optional': 'os-level environment variables'
},
# You can specify AWS-CDK-specific arguments.
cdk_arguments=CdkArguments(
aws_cdk_app_stacks_to_deploy=['MyCoolStack'],
aws_cdk_app_parameters=['Test1=Test1'],
aws_cdk_app_context=['Context1=Context1']
)
)

executor.run()
```

The library generates beautiful stack dependency outputs for easier debugging:

```
----- Stack dependency graph: -----
» Stack1: []
× Stack2: [Stack1]
× Stack3: [Stack1]
× Stack4: [Stack1, Stack2, Stack3]
× Stack5: [Stack1, Stack4]
» Stack8: []
× Stack7: [Stack1, Stack2, Stack3, Stack4, Stack5]
× Stack6: [Stack1, Stack7]
× Stack10: [Stack1, Stack6, Stack7]
× Stack9: [Stack1, Stack8]
» B-Aws-Cdk-Parallel-MainStack-3: []

[Stack2] Doing stuff...
[Stack2] Doing stuff...
[Stack4] Doing stuff...
[Stack3] Doing stuff...
```

#### CLI usage

The library also exposes CLI access.

To get usage help, simply run:

```
acdk -h
```

To deploy infrastructure, run:

```
acdk deploy --path /project/app/
```

To destroy infrastructure, run:

```
acdk destroy --path /project/app/
```

### Testing

This project has integration tests based on pytest. To run tests, simply run:

```
pytest b_aws_cdk_parallel_test/integration/tests
```
