SaaS Builder Toolkit for AWS
The SaaS Builder Toolkit for AWS (SBT) is an open-source developer toolkit to implement SaaS best practices and increase developer velocity. SBT should be considered sample code and, as such, you should ensure that proper security concerns such as authorization and other security is implemented per your organziation's standards before you deploy this into production environments.
It offers a high-level object-oriented abstraction to define SaaS resources on AWS imperatively using the power of modern programming languages. Using SBT’s library of infrastructure constructs, you can easily encapsulate SaaS best practices in your SaaS application, and share it without worrying about boilerplate logic.
Currently, SBT is available in the following language:
- JavaScript, TypeScript (Node.js ≥ 20)
- We recommend using a version in Active LTS
Third-party Language Deprecation: language version is only supported until its EOL (End Of Life) shared by the vendor or community and is subject to change with prior notice.

SBT is built on top of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). It offers a number of higher-order constructs (L2, L2.5 and L3) to short-circuit the time required to build SaaS applications. Specifically, SBT attempts to codify several control plane and application plane concepts into reusable components, promoting reuse and reducing boilerplate code.
Getting Started
