Infrastructure as Code - creating RDS stack with initializing lambda This is the second post in the series, below link to the fist one, just in case you missed it:infrastructure-as-code-setting-initial-aws-cdk-stack-vpc-rds-lambda-sns

In this initial technical post, I will detail how I set up my VPC stack and the challenges I encountered. Please do not consider this as the definitive approach, and feel free to reach out if you identify any bugs, potential improvements, or if you’d simply like to discuss it.

This post breaks down the raw architecture of “Stock-Mate,” my inventory management system.

Since this is more of a dev blog than a deep dive into logistics, I won’t go into business logic much for now. When designing the system architecture, I had to ask myself a crucial question: Do I want to create a system to sell or do I want to have fun and learn as much as possible? The answer was clear – I chose the latter. Before you judge the architecture and my decisions, please understand that I acknowledge I’m overengineering it. I could achieve the same functionalities with a much simpler architecture and finish the project in less time.

I decided to start creating a warehouse inventory management system because of my experience in supply chain management over six years. During that time, I was in charge of keeping track of inventory levels for hundreds of products in a factory that made spice mixtures, dealing with raw materials weighing over 100 tons each week. Despite the job being stressful, I found it enjoyable due to the challenges.
