Get Started

watchman is built and deployed using SST.

Quick Start

Ensure you have a valid AWS account configured. If not, run:

aws configure

Then you can initialize SST and deploy a stack. This will take a while:

pnpm dev

You will need to initialize some secrets. Get these values from BetterUptime, Notion, Kandji, and Slack:

pnpm sst secrets set BETTERUPTIME_API_KEY "<REPLACE_KEY_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set KANDJI_API_KEY "<REPLACE_KEY_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set SLACK_WEBHOOK "<REPLACE_WEBHOOK_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set NOTION_API_KEY "<REPLACE_KEY_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod
pnpm sst secrets set NOTION_DATABASE_ID "<REPLACE_ID_HERE>" # "--stage prod" if you're setting for prod

After you’re done, remember to clean up:

pnpm run remove
