How Huron built an Amazon QuickSight Asset Catalogue with AWS CDK Based Deployment Pipeline
Blog
This article describes how Huron Consulting Group built a QuickSight Asset Tracker and deployment pipeline to manage BI resources across the organization.
- Asset Tracker catalogs all QuickSight resources with metadata and interdependencies
- Aurora Serverless PostgreSQL database stores metadata; Lambda and API Gateway provide REST API layer
- AWS CDK-based CI/CD pipeline enables infrastructure-as-code deployment of QuickSight assets
- CloudTrail and EventBridge track resources created outside the pipeline
- Central QuickSight account with folder-based environments reduces multi-account complexity
- Supports dynamic embedding, row/column-level security, and compliance auditing
- Enables hub-and-spoke data access model across multiple AWS accounts
The solution provides a scalable framework for organizations to manage BI asset lifecycles, maintain accurate inventories, and implement BIOps practices for reliable insights delivery.
