Deploy CDK Stack is a Claude Code skill that deploys the RAPID application's AWS infrastructure via CDK with database migrations and verification.

About

Deploy CDK Stack deploys the RAPID application's AWS infrastructure using CDK, including first-time bootstrap, database migrations, and post-deployment verification. It documents deployment scenarios (code-only, infra-only, schema change, full stack), parameter customization via parameter.ts and command-line overrides, and how to retrieve frontend and API URLs from CloudFormation outputs. A developer uses it only when explicitly asked to deploy. It includes production guardrails and success criteria such as the stack reaching CREATE_COMPLETE and the health endpoint returning 200.

Deploys RAPID AWS infrastructure with CDK, including first-time bootstrap and database migrations
Documents parameter customization (parameter.ts, command-line -c overrides) and precedence
Only executes when the user explicitly says 'please deploy'; lists production never/always guardrails

What it does

Deploy the RAPID CDK stack to AWS, run database migrations, and verify the stack reaches CREATE/UPDATE_COMPLETE.

Who is it for?

RAPID developers deploying AWS infrastructure with CDK and running database migrations.

Skip if: Building or formatting code (use build-and-format); it runs only on an explicit deploy request.

When should I use this skill?

The user explicitly says 'please deploy', runs first-time bootstrap, or deploys after code or infra changes.

What you get

The RAPID CDK stack deployed to CREATE/UPDATE_COMPLETE with migrations run and health endpoint returning 200.

Deployed CloudFormation stack
Database migration completed
Frontend and API URLs from stack outputs

By the numbers

Four deployment scenarios (code, infra, schema, full stack)
Production never-list: reset, cdk destroy, prisma db push, autoMigrate:true

Deploy CDK Stack

Only execute when explicitly asked to "please deploy".

Prerequisites

aws sts get-caller-identity    # AWS credentials configured
docker ps                      # Docker running
cd backend && npm ci && npm run prisma:generate && npm run build  # Backend built
cd ../cdk && npm ci            # CDK dependencies installed

Deployment Sequence

Quick Deploy (Recommended)

cd cdk
npm run deploy

Full Deployment (Manual Steps)

cd backend && npm ci && npm run prisma:generate && npm run build
cd ../cdk && npm ci
npx cdk synth                              # Validate (optional)
npx cdk deploy --require-approval never --all

First-Time Deployment

cd cdk
npx cdk bootstrap
npx cdk deploy --require-approval never --all

Parameter Customization

Edit parameter.ts

// cdk/lib/parameter.ts
export const parameters = {
  allowedIpV4AddressRanges: ["192.168.0.0/16"],
  bedrockRegion: "ap-northeast-1",
  documentProcessingModelId: "apac.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0",
  cognitoSelfSignUpEnabled: false,
  autoMigrate: false,
};

Command Line Parameters

npx cdk deploy -c rapid.bedrockRegion="ap-northeast-1"
npx cdk deploy -c rapid='{"bedrockRegion":"us-west-2","documentProcessingModelId":"us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0"}'

Precedence: Command line > parameter.ts > parameter-schema.ts defaults

Deployment Scenarios

Scenario	Commands
Code only	`cd backend && npm run build && cd ../cdk && npx cdk deploy`
Infra only	`cd cdk && npx cdk deploy`
Schema change	Deploy + run migration command (see below)
Full stack	Build all + `npx cdk deploy --require-approval never --all`

Post-Deployment

# Get URLs
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name RapidStack \
  --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey=='FrontendURL'].OutputValue" --output text

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name RapidStack \
  --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey=='ApiEndpoint'].OutputValue" --output text

Database Migration

Manual Migration

MIGRATION_COMMAND=$(aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name RapidStack \
  --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey=='DeployMigrationCommand'].OutputValue" \
  --output text)
eval $MIGRATION_COMMAND

CDK Commands

Command	Description
`npx cdk synth`	Validate and synthesize templates
`npx cdk diff`	Show changes vs deployed stack
`npx cdk deploy --require-approval never`	Deploy without prompts
`npx cdk deploy --all`	Deploy all stacks
`npx cdk bootstrap`	Bootstrap CDK (first-time only)
