Setup

First you need to install the cdk cli globally:

npm install -g aws-cdk
yarn install

Next, you need to created a .env file in the root directory and define the following three variables:

1. AWS_PROFILE: The name of the Named Profile that provides the credentials for your account.
2. AWS_ACCOUNT_ID: Your AWS Account ID number.
3. AWS_REGION: The AWS Region to which the cdk cli will submit api calls.

The file should look something like this:

AWS_PROFILE=spencer
AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=7124579443257
AWS_REGION=us-east-1

You can also run yarn env and a cli will prompt you the values and create the file for you. The .env file is not tracked by git.
