Configuring AWS CodeBuild with GitHub Organization Webhooks Using AWS CDK

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With the introduction of organization-level webhooks for GitHub, released in July 2024, AWS CodeBuild can now trigger builds for multiple repositories under a GitHub organization, streamlining workflows for enterprise-level teams.

In this article, we will explore how to configure an AWS CodeBuild project with organization-level GitHub webhooks using AWS CDK. This feature enhances control and automation for teams working with multiple repositories across a GitHub organization. Let’s walk through the key components of the implementation.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the CDK code, ensure that you have the following prerequisites configured:

  1. AWS CLI and AWS CDK installed: Ensure you have both the AWS CLI and AWS CDK set up and configured on your machine.

Source Identity Access Control

In this example, we have two roles that will assume a target role. In the following implementation, each role is granted specific permissions associated with the target role.
