Infrastructure as Code in CLI

[veimox]

Why

Lower cognitive load to setup the infrastructure

What

Just run a command to setup the infrastructure. This will generate all of it, including an IAM user and will set the configuration in a secret. The configuration can then be retrieved and added to the user's environment with another command. Read the README to clarify things.

How

We have created a new app that contains to binaries, the one to create the infrastructure with CDK and another script to retrieve the configuration and add it to the environment.

For the IaC we use CDK, mostly because this is a very AWS specific thing, which plays nicely. We bundle things up with esbuild which simplifies then the dependency management of the final binary as all dependencies (e.g. CDK or the secrets manager SDK) are bundled.

To follow the Nx standard of only having one apps folder, I have moved the e2e to such folder as well.

We have also extended the commands a little bit so the CI and publishing of the packages, will work for the new app as well.

How to test

Follow the steps in the README.md
