aws-cdk.aws-apprunner-alpha
The CDK Construct Library for AWS::AppRunner
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using AWS CDK and need to deploy containerized applications to App Runner. The low install friction, active maintenance, and permissive license make it straightforward to adopt. However, the experimental status means you should expect potential breaking changes in future releases and plan for code updates when upgrading versions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later and an existing AWS CDK stack context (self parameter must be a valid CDK Construct).
- Released 1 day ago with active maintenance; low install friction and a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication.

What it is and what it does
This package is an experimental AWS CDK construct library for App Runner, a fully managed service that deploys and scales containerized web applications without requiring infrastructure expertise. It wraps the low-level CloudFormation resources into higher-level Python constructs, letting you define App Runner services declaratively in your CDK stacks.
The library supports multiple deployment sources: ECR repositories, ECR Public images, GitHub repositories with CI/CD integration, and local Docker asset directories. It also provides constructs for configuring auto-scaling, VPC connectivity, IAM roles, and private ingress endpoints. The package is marked as experimental and subject to breaking changes across versions, so production use requires awareness of potential migration costs when upgrading.
Use it for
- Deploy a containerized web application from an ECR Public image with automatic load balancing and scaling.
- Set up continuous deployment from a GitHub repository with App Runner handling builds and container orchestration.
- Build and push a local Docker image to ECR, then deploy it as an App Runner service with auto-scaling configuration.
- Create a private App Runner service accessible only from within a VPC using VPC connectors and ingress endpoints.
- Define IAM roles and policies for an App Runner service to access other AWS resources like S3 buckets.
