AWS Application Composer Documentation

AWS Application Composer helps you drag and drop any AWS CloudFormation resource onto a visual canvas from Visual Studio (VS) Code or from the AWS Console. The Step Functions Workflow Studio integration provides a drag-and-drop interface to build a workflow and integrate the workflow’s tasks with AWS services using Application Composer’s click-to-connect integration.

From visual diagrams, Application Composer can help generate infrastructure as code (laC) AWS CloudFormation templates for resources including AWS Lambda Function, Amazon Kinesis Stream, EventBridge Schedule, API Gateway, Amazon SQS Queue and AWS Step Functions State Machine, and produce CloudFormation template for resources that CloudFormation supports.

AWS Application Composer maintains a visual representation of your application architecture in sync with your IaC. Changes to the architecture—such as adding new resources or changing service configuration—are reflected in the IaC artifacts, and vice versa.

Application Composer extends visual IaC authoring experience to VS Code, and complements the existing tools and workflows you have today. You can pair Application Composer’s visualization and CloudFormation template editing side by side in your IDE.

Application Composer IDE Extension, as part of the AWS Toolkit for VS Code, offers generative AI powered code suggestions. With this, you not only get help starting a new CloudFormation template, but you can also generate a resource configuration directly from the Application Composer’s resource configuration interface.
