Infrastructure & CI/CD — Sea Haven SHOC frontend
AWS hosting for the Vite SPA, defined as an AWS CDK app local to this repo, deployed through the org's reusable GitHub Actions workflow.
- Hosting: private S3 bucket (origin) + CloudFront, served on the custom
domain
dev.seahaven.com(ACM*.seahaven.com, Route 53 apex alias). - API: the SPA calls the backend directly over HTTPS at
https://api.dev.seahaven.com/api(VITE_API_URL, cross-origin; the backend allows CORS). CloudFront serves static content only — no/apiproxy. - Domain/cert/zone values live in
cdk.jsoncontext so the CIcdk deploypicks them up with no flags.VITE_API_URLis baked into the build, so it's per-environment (see the note under "Adding staging / prod"). - Auth: GitHub Actions → AWS via OIDC (no long-lived keys)
- CD workflow:
.github/workflows/deploy.ymlis a thin caller of the org'sSea-Haven-Industries/.github→cd-cdk.yaml. That workflow runscdk deploy(provisions infra) thenscripts/deploy-web.sh(builds + uploads the SPA). - Infra is local to this repo (CDK in
infra/cdk); the deploy role is created by this stack, not added to the centraloidc-deploy-roles.yaml. - Environments:
devonly today, deployed on push to thedevbranch.

What the stack creates
| Resource | Purpose |
|---|---|
S3 bucket seahaven-shoc-frontend-dev |
private origin (BLOCK_ALL, SSE, OAC-only reads) |
| CloudFront distribution | HTTPS, gzip/br; serves the static SPA from S3 (the app calls the API directly, cross-origin) |
| CloudFront Function (viewer request) | SPA routing: rewrites extensionless paths to /index.html (scoped to the S3 behavior, so it never touches /api) |
IAM role githubdeploy-shoc-frontend-new-dev |
assumed by GitHub Actions via OIDC, scoped to repo:Sea-Haven-Industries/shoc-frontend-new:ref:refs/heads/dev |
The whole cd-cdk.yaml job runs as that role, so it holds: sts:AssumeRole on
cdk-hnb659fds-* (for cdk deploy), cloudformation:DescribeStacks (cd-cdk's
pre-flight/health-check + output reads), read/write on the bucket (s3 sync),
and cloudfront:CreateInvalidation (cache bust). The OIDC provider is a
singleton account resource — the stack only imports it (created in step 2),
so cdk destroy can't delete a resource shared by other roles.
One-time setup (run by a human with admin AWS creds)
1. Authenticate to the AWS account
aws configure # or: aws sso login --profile <admin>
aws sts get-caller-identity # confirm the right account + region (us-east-1)
2. Ensure the GitHub OIDC provider exists (once per account)
aws iam list-open-id-connect-providers
# If none ends in token.actions.githubusercontent.com, create it (thumbprint is
# no longer required — AWS validates GitHub against its own trust store):
aws iam create-open-id-connect-provider \
--url https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
--client-id-list sts.amazonaws.com
3. CDK bootstrap (once per account/region)
cd infra/cdk
npm ci
npx cdk bootstrap aws://<ACCOUNT_ID>/us-east-1
4. Domain, cert, and API URL (already wired for dev)
Domain/cert/zone are set in cdk.json context (account 396287094661):
| Context key | Value |
|---|---|
domainNames |
dev.seahaven.com |
certificateArn |
…:certificate/2b78e74f-… (ACM *.seahaven.com, us-east-1) |
hostedZoneId / hostedZoneName |
Z07671212N75U4YLPWZR8 / dev.seahaven.com |
The stack creates the apex A/AAAA alias in the hosted zone (in this account,
delegated from the parent seahaven.com zone). The API URL is not infra —
it's VITE_API_URL in .env.production (https://api.dev.seahaven.com/api),
baked into the build. Per-environment; override for staging/prod.
5. First deploy (locally, with admin creds)
The deploy role doesn't exist until the first cdk deploy, so bootstrap it
locally. This provisions infra + the role:
cd infra/cdk
npx cdk deploy
Note the DeployRoleArn output. Then push the first content (or just push to
dev and let CI do everything from here on):
# from repo root, optional manual first content publish:
STACK_NAME=shoc-frontend-dev AWS_REGION=us-east-1 bash scripts/deploy-web.sh
6. Set the one GitHub secret
cd-cdk.yaml takes the role ARN as a secret (not a variable):
REPO=Sea-Haven-Industries/shoc-frontend-new
gh secret set AWS_DEPLOY_ROLE_ARN --repo "$REPO" \
--body "arn:aws:iam::<acct>:role/githubdeploy-shoc-frontend-new-dev"
(Or Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Secrets.)
7. From now on: push to dev
git push origin dev
ci.yml runs the quality gates and deploy.yml calls cd-cdk.yaml, which runs
cdk deploy then scripts/deploy-web.sh. Watch the Actions tab, then open
the SiteUrl output.
First-run verification: this first push is what actually exercises the role's permissions and the OIDC trust through the reusable workflow (the local bootstrap used admin creds and tested none of that). Watch for credential/OIDC errors and a green post-deploy step.
Adding staging / prod later
Separate accounts: deploy this stack there with per-env domainNames,
certificateArn, hostedZoneId/hostedZoneName context; set that repo's
AWS_DEPLOY_ROLE_ARN secret; and add a job to deploy.yml.
Because the SPA calls the API directly at an absolute URL, VITE_API_URL is
baked into vite build — so each environment needs its own build with its own
API host (e.g. https://api.staging.seahaven.com/api). Set it per environment
in the deploy job (e.g. export VITE_API_URL before the build step) rather than
relying on the committed .env.production (which carries the dev value). The
backend must also allow CORS from each frontend origin.
Notes
- Teardown:
npx cdk destroy. The bucket usesRemovalPolicy.DESTROY+autoDeleteObjects(dev artifacts are reproducible) — change this for prod. - CI and CD both fire on push to
devin parallel; a red-CI commit still deploys (matches the org's push-time-CD model). Gating deploy on CI is a follow-up, not part of enabling CICD. - npm is pinned to v11.16.0; the committed
package-lock.jsonuses lockfileVersion 3, matching the Node 24 / npm 11 CI environment.
