Look inside
You’re the sole DevOps engineer at BuildIT, a fast-growing digital agency that builds websites and applications for its clients. The company has an automated infrastructure with a simple user-friendly interface and user authentication system that constitutes an Internal Developer Platform (IDP). But as the IDP stands, one typo or missed configuration option can lead to application failure. Your task is to minimize these potential problems by creating a pipeline that parses BuildIT’s infrastructure CDKTF code and populates a DynamoDB table with the list of found environment types. You’ll use the entries in the database to populate a dropdown in the UI for selecting the environment type and a table of required configurations. When you’re done, you’ll have implemented client-side validation—and taken BuildIT’s IDP from rudimentary to robust.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for engineers interested in further automating infrastructure as code (IaC) practices, engineers working with AWS, DevOps engineers, and platform engineers. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic Express.js
- Basic AWS Console
- Basic AWS CodeBuild
- Basic Amazon DynamoDB
- Basic Node.js
- Basic TypeScript
- Intermediate React.js

- Schema validation
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to implement client-side validation to minimize potential for application failure.
- Use JSON Schema to specify validation rules for JavaScript objects
- Create a CodeBuild project that parses your infrastructure code and use it to populate a DynamoDB table
- Dynamically generate form fields on the web application, based on data from DynamoDB (the solution code uses the Formik library)
- Validate JavaScript objects using Ajv JSON Schema validator
