Overview

Create documentation and implementation for the Four Factor Secure Web App IDP Blueprint.

Use Case: Enable product teams to quickly deploy secure, compliant web applications with minimal configuration.

Blueprint Components

This blueprint consists of four key components that work together:

Component: WebAppComponent

• Provisions AWS ECS service behind a load balancer
• Automatic TLS via ACM
• Logging via CloudWatch
• IAM roles configured for least privilege

Template: secure-webapp

• Uses the WebAppComponent
• Parameterized by app name, domain, and container image
• Provides simple developer interface

Policy Pack: Secure Web App Policies

• Enforces TLS usage for all web apps
• Requires approved base images only
• Prevents exposure of public S3 buckets
• Other security best practices

Environment: Secure Web App Environment

• Contains secrets like TLS cert ARNs
• Logging destinations configuration
• Production database credentials
• Other environment-specific config

Implementation Tasks

Code Development

• Create WebAppComponent in all supported Pulumi languages (TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, YAML)
• Create secure-webapp template for each language
• Implement Policy Pack with required security rules
• Create ESC environment configuration template
• Write comprehensive tests for all components
• Validate cross-language compatibility

Documentation Tasks

• Create main blueprint page at /content/docs/idp/best-practices/blueprints/secure-web-app.md
• Write integration guide for platform teams
• Create user documentation for developers
• Add code examples for all supported languages
• Document configuration options and customization points
• Create troubleshooting section

Integration Tasks

• Add blueprint to landing page links
• Cross-reference from relevant IDP documentation
• Link to from security best practices where appropriate
• Update any relevant tutorial or getting started content

Content Structure

The documentation should follow this structure:

1. Overview & Use Case
2. Architecture Diagram
3. Component Details
4. Getting Started
   • Prerequisites
   • Installation steps
   • First deployment
5. Configuration Reference
6. Customization Guide
7. Security Considerations
8. Troubleshooting
9. Related Resources

Acceptance Criteria

• All four IDP building blocks implemented and tested
• Code available in all supported Pulumi languages
• Comprehensive documentation following style guide
• Working examples that can be deployed
• Integration tests pass
• Security review completed for policy pack
• Cross-links added to relevant existing documentation

Expected Result: Developers can spin up secure, compliant web apps in minutes with one command, without needing to know about IAM, networking, or certificate management.
