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.

   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:

     npm install
   

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

     npx cdk bootstrap aws://accountnumber/region
