webiny-infrastructure-extensions
This skill provides a powerful mechanism for modifying and extending AWS infrastructure using Pulumi handlers and dedicated declarative components. It allows developers to manage complex cloud setups, including configuring OpenSearch, VPC networking, resource tagging, custom domains, blue-green deployment strategies, and implementing environment-conditional configurations (e.g., production vs. development).

Overview

Infrastructure Extensions

TL;DR

Infrastructure extensions modify your AWS infrastructure using Pulumi handlers and declarative <Infra.*> components in webiny.config.tsx. Pulumi handlers implement CorePulumi.Interface and are registered via <Infra.Core.Pulumi>. Declarative components configure OpenSearch, VPC, tags, regions, custom domains, blue-green deployments, and environment-specific settings.

Pulumi Handler Pattern

Write custom Pulumi code that runs during infrastructure deployment:

// extensions/MyCorePulumiHandler.ts
import { Ui } from "webiny/infra";
import { CorePulumi } from "webiny/infra/core";

class MyCorePulumiHandlerImpl implements CorePulumi.Interface {
  constructor(private ui: Ui.Interface) {}

  execute(app: any) {
    this.ui.info("Executing MyCorePulumiHandler with environment:", app.env);

    // Access and modify Pulumi resources here
    // app.resources gives you access to all provisioned resources
  }
}

export default CorePulumi.createImplementation({
  implementation: MyCorePulumiHandlerImpl,
  dependencies: [Ui]
});

Register (YOU MUST include the .ts file extension in the src prop — omitting it will cause a build failure):

<Infra.Core.Pulumi src={"/extensions/MyCorePulumiHandler.ts"} />

Use Cases for Pulumi Handlers

  • Add custom AWS resources (CloudWatch alarms, extra S3 buckets, Lambda functions)
  • Modify existing resource properties (Lambda memory, timeouts, environment variables)
  • Add conditional infrastructure based on environment
  • Integrate with third-party infrastructure providers

Declarative Infrastructure Components

These components go directly in webiny.config.tsx -- no separate extension file needed:

AWS Configuration

{/* Set the AWS region */}
<Infra.Aws.DefaultRegion name={"us-east-1"} />

{/* Apply tags to all AWS resources -- multiple calls are merged */}
<Infra.Aws.Tags tags={{ OWNER: "me", PROJECT: "my-project" }} />
<Infra.Aws.Tags tags={{ COST_CENTER: "engineering" }} />

Search & Networking

{
  /* Enable/disable OpenSearch */
}
<Infra.OpenSearch enabled={true} />;

{
  /* Enable/disable VPC deployment */
}
<Infra.Vpc enabled={false} />;

Resource Naming

{
  /* Prefix all Pulumi resource names */
}
<Infra.PulumiResourceNamePrefix prefix={"myproj-"} />;

{
  /* Define which environments use production-grade infrastructure */
}
<Infra.ProductionEnvironments environments={["prod", "staging"]} />;

Custom Domains

<Infra.Admin.CustomDomains
  domains={["admin.example.com"]}
  sslMethod="sni-only"
  certificateArn="arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789:certificate/abc-123"
/>

Blue-Green Deployments

<Infra.BlueGreenDeployments
  enabled={true}
  domains={{
    acmCertificateArn: "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789:certificate/abc-123",
    sslSupportMethod: "sni-only",
    domains: {
      api: ["api.example.com"],
      admin: ["admin.example.com"],
      website: ["website.example.com"],
      preview: ["preview.example.com"]
    }
  }}
  deployments={[
    { name: "green", env: "dev", variant: "green" },
    { name: "blue", env: "dev", variant: "blue" }
  ]}
/>

Environment-Conditional Configuration

Use <Infra.Env.Is> to apply settings only in specific environments:

{
  /* Production only */
}
<Infra.Env.Is env="prod">
  <Infra.Aws.Tags tags={{ ENV: "production" }} />
  <Infra.OpenSearch enabled={true} />
</Infra.Env.Is>;

{
  /* Non-production (accepts array) */
}
<Infra.Env.Is env={["dev", "staging"]}>
  <Infra.Aws.Tags tags={{ ENV: "non-production" }} />
  <Infra.OpenSearch enabled={false} />
</Infra.Env.Is>;

Project-Level Settings

{
  /* Disable telemetry */
}
<Project.Telemetry enabled={false} />;

{
  /* Auto-install for CI/CD (skip the installation wizard) */
}
{
  process.env.WEBINY_CLI_AUTO_INSTALL && (
    <Project.AutoInstall
      adminUser={{
        firstName: "Ad",
        lastName: "Min",
        email: "admin@webiny.com",
        password: "12345678"
      }}
    />
  );
}

Quick Reference

Pulumi import:   import { CorePulumi } from "webiny/infra/core";
Ui import:       import { Ui } from "webiny/infra";
Interface:       CorePulumi.Interface
Export:          CorePulumi.createImplementation({ implementation, dependencies })
Register:        <Infra.Core.Pulumi src={"/extensions/MyHandler.ts"} />
Deploy:          yarn webiny deploy core  (infrastructure changes)
