@anvil-cloud/sdk

Cloud infrastructure that's secure by default — not by accident.

Anvil wraps raw cloud resources into opinionated, production-ready components. No 200-line Terraform modules. No copy-pasting security configs. Just declare what you need and Anvil handles the rest.

Built on Pulumi.

Install

npm install @anvil-cloud/sdk

Secure by default

Every Anvil component ships with defaults aligned to production from day one — public access blocked, encryption enforced, cost tags applied. The goal isn't to make compliance automatic, but to make it a platform you can actually build on.

The App class

Every Anvil program starts with new App(). The run callback receives a Context with:

• ctx.stage — current deployment stage (defaults to your OS username for dev isolation)
• ctx.project — project name from anvil.yaml
• ctx.export(name, value) — export stack outputs
• ctx.providers — named cloud providers for multi-region / multi-account

Grants

Grants are how Anvil wires permissions between resources. Instead of writing IAM policies by hand, you call .grant() on a resource and Anvil handles both the IAM role policy and the environment variable injection automatically.

A Lambda reading from a Bucket:

export default new App({
  run(ctx) {
    const bucket = new anvil.aws.Bucket('uploads', {
      dataClassification: 'sensitive',
    });

    const fn = new anvil.aws.Lambda('processor', {
      runtime: 'nodejs20.x',
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: './src',
    });

    // Grants the Lambda read access to the bucket and scopes down to specific bucket paths
    // Anvil creates the IAM policy and injects UPLOADS_BUCKET_NAME
    // into the Lambda's environment automatically.
    //
    bucket.grant(fn, { actions: ['read'], path: ['user/*'] });
  },
});

What Anvil does under the hood:

• Creates an IAM RolePolicy scoped to the exact actions requested
• Injects the resource identifier as an environment variable on the target (e.g. UPLOADS_BUCKET_NAME)
• No manual ARN wiring, no forgotten permissions

SvelteKit deployment

Deploy a SvelteKit app to AWS with a single component. Anvil provisions S3, CloudFront, ACM, Lambda (via Lambda Web Adapter), and Route53 — with HTTPS and a custom domain out of the box:

export default new App({
  run(ctx) {
    const site = new anvil.aws.SvelteKitSite('web', {
      domain: 'myapp.com',
    });

    ctx.export('url', site.url);
  },
});

Overrides

Every component accepts a transform argument to override the underlying resource config when you need to break from the defaults:

const bucket = new anvil.aws.Bucket('custom', {
  dataClassification: 'non-sensitive',
  transform: {
    bucket: { forceDestroy: true, tags: { env: 'dev' } },
  },
});
