UI directory contains all the UI code of the web application that is hosted on a static website in S3. Directory structure under UI is further divided as per it's contents. For example javascript files go under SCRIPTS folder. buildspec_node.yml file at the root directory is a configuration file provided to AWS code build project. This is used to build all our backend infrastructure. All the lambdas that form the backend of our web application lie inside lambdas directory. Each is a NPM module with index.js and package.json file. scripts folder contain all the scripts needed for CICD. node-lambdas.sh is a shell script file that is referenced by buildspec_node.yml for code build project. All scripts needed for cloud formation deployment go under cloudformation directory. samTemplate.yaml is the cloud formation template whereas aws-serverless-cfn-parameter.json contains the input placeholders that the SAM template references. This file would change for each user based on their AWS environment configurations. step-functions directory has the JSON file to create the state machine.
