AWS Blocks is a public preview TypeScript framework that gives you a local backend environment with Postgres, authentication, and real-time messaging—no AWS account needed. When you’re ready to deploy, the same code runs on AWS services unchanged, and you can drop into AWS CDK for custom resource setup.
- AWS Blocks lets you develop full backends (Postgres, auth, real-time messaging) locally with no AWS account, then deploy the same code unchanged to AWS services like API Gateway, Lambda, and RDS.
- It's a TypeScript framework built by AWS's developer tools labs team (creators of CDK constructs), open-sourced on GitHub, currently in public preview.
- The CLI scaffolds a project with sample endpoints, migrations, and tests; "blocks dev" runs it locally and "blocks deploy" generates CDK/CloudFormation behind the scenes.
- Power users can drop into AWS CDK to customize VPC settings, IAM roles, or swap in DynamoDB, rather than being locked into the defaults.
