Introduction

This userguide aims to make it easy for you to get started using the fink tools in your projects. fink helps you to code your infrastructure on AWS and put it under version control as infrastructure-as-code together with the implementation of your service. In this way you can fully automate your infrastructure and your service deployments.

fink provides tools for traditional compute services and also managed serverless computing services. fink was implemented internally at finklabs.

fink and userguide are released under MIT License.

The fink userguide starts with this introduction, then provides an overview on fink like a guided tour on how fink is structured and what it offers to you. The following parts each covers one fink tool. The remaining parts go into more technical topics like developing fink or using it as library to build your own tools based on fink.

This user guide assumes that you know the AWS services you want to automate so we do not cover AWS services in great detail and instead point to relevant documentation. But even if you are starting out on AWS, fink will help you to quickly leave the AWS webconsole behind and to move towards infrastructure-as-code.
