Developer Guides

This section provides detailed guidance for developers working with the GenAI IDP Accelerator CDK implementation. The guides in this section will walk you through specific examples that highlight the capabilities of the AWS CDK GenAI IDP solution.

Overview

The developer guides are designed to help you understand how to implement and customize the GenAI IDP Accelerator for your specific document processing needs. Each guide focuses on a particular implementation pattern or use case, providing step-by-step instructions, code examples, and best practices.

Available Guides

Sample Implementations

This section contains detailed walkthroughs for each sample implementation included in the repository:

Each sample walkthrough includes:

  • Architecture overview
  • Step-by-step deployment instructions
  • Code examples in both TypeScript and Python
  • Testing and validation procedures
  • Customization options
  • Best practices and tips

Common Architecture Components

While each pattern has its unique characteristics, all implementations share these common components:

  • S3 Buckets: For input documents and processing results
  • Step Functions Workflow: For orchestrating the document processing pipeline
  • Lambda Functions: For processing tasks and integration
  • DynamoDB Tables: For configuration and tracking
  • AppSync GraphQL API: For querying document status and metadata
  • Optional Web Interface: For document management and visualization

Integration Options

The guides also demonstrate how to integrate the GenAI IDP Accelerator with:

  • Existing S3 Buckets: Use your existing document storage
  • Custom Authentication: Integrate with your identity provider
  • VPC Deployment: Deploy within your VPC for enhanced security
  • Custom Post-Processing: Add custom logic after extraction
  • External Systems: Connect to databases, CRMs, or other business systems

Best Practices
