Using the SDK

Overview

  • SDK offers a programmatic way of interacting with the Stacktape API.
  • Unlike other Infastructure as Code tools such as AWS CDK or Pulumi, it offers a truly dynamic way of interacting with your stacks (as opposed to just programmatically creating the configuration).
  • Behind the scenes, Stacktape SDK interacts with a GRPC server that executes Stacktape commands in a separate process.
  • Currently, the SDK is available only for Javascript/Typescript. Python, Go and Java SDKs will be available soon.
  • Stacktape SDK is fully typed and includes a built-in documentation for every property.

config: {
serviceName: 'stack-1',
resources: [

]
}
}),
stacktape.deploy({
config: {
serviceName: 'stack-2',
resources: [
/* ...your resources... */
