5 stars2 forks0 contributors
Overview
This project provides an AWS CDK construct that automatically shuts down Amazon RDS and Aurora databases on a schedule to help reduce AWS costs. It's designed for development and staging environments where databases don't need to run 24/7, allowing teams to save significantly on cloud infrastructure expenses.
Key Features
- Scheduled Shutdown — Automatically stops RDS and Aurora instances based on a configurable schedule
- AWS CDK Construct — Easy integration into existing CDK applications as a reusable component
- Cost Optimization — Reduces AWS bills by stopping unused database resources during off-hours
- TypeScript Implementation — Written in TypeScript for type safety and better developer experience
Philosophy
The project follows infrastructure-as-code principles, enabling teams to manage database lifecycle automation through version-controlled CDK stacks rather than manual console operations.
