About this Stack

Purpose

  • Deploys the core backend components that respond to events and orchestrate workflows such as new account setup and account cleanup.

Where to deploy

  • Hub account.

What it creates

  • Amazon EventBridge rules.

  • AWS Lambda functions that react to events and perform application logic.

  • Amazon SQS queues to drive asynchronous processing.

  • AWS Step Functions for multi‑step workflows.

  • AWS CodeBuild projects used during setup/cleanup tasks.

Dependencies

  • Requires Network (for VPC‑attached Lambdas) and Data (to read/write application state). If notifications are used, it may reference SES templates.

Validation checks

  • SQS queues and Step Functions state machines are present.

Tips
