cdk-events-notify
The Events Notify AWS Construct lib for AWS CDK
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (repository archived, last update 2026-06-16, marked maintenance status 'abandoned') and offers a narrow, single-purpose feature. For production security monitoring, use native AWS services (CloudTrail, EventBridge, SNS/SQS) directly or maintained third-party integrations. If you need exactly this functionality and can accept no future updates, the low install friction and permissive license make it technically usable, but the abandonment status is a significant risk for long-term deployments.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- You must enable Management events in CloudTrail for your AWS account, and EventBridge is region-specific—console logins outside the CDK stack's region will not trigger notifications.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
cdk-events-notify is an AWS CDK Construct Library that bridges CloudTrail events and Slack notifications. It watches for console login and role-switch events in your AWS account and automatically triggers Lambda functions to post alerts to a Slack channel via webhook. The library abstracts away the EventBridge and Lambda plumbing, letting you declare the notification pipeline as a single CDK construct.
The package currently supports Slack webhooks only; Line Notify support was removed as of this version due to LINE's service shutdown. It requires Management events to be enabled in CloudTrail and operates within a single AWS region—cross-region console logins will not be captured. The construct depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication, all standard CDK ecosystem libraries.
Use it for
- Alert your security team immediately when someone logs into the AWS console, reducing detection time for unauthorized access.
- Monitor role-switch events to track privilege escalation or lateral movement within your AWS environment.
- Integrate CloudTrail login events into your existing Slack-based incident response workflow.
- Audit and log all console access attempts by forwarding events to a dedicated Slack channel for compliance review.
