peaqock-financials/aws-quarkus-jwt-lambda-cdk-template — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small starter backend that shows a Quarkus app running locally and also deploying to AWS Lambda with CDK. I want it to feel like a real demo, not just hello world.

Please make it a JWT secured REST API with one public endpoint, like health or login, and a couple of protected endpoints that return and save a simple entity using the built in ORM setup. Keep the example easy to understand, with sensible defaults and environment based config so I can run it in dev mode, build it, and deploy it to AWS without a lot of manual tweaking.

It would be great if the Lambda side is wired up properly for API access, and if there is a simple way to test the secured requests, like a ready to use Postman collection or example calls. Add brief setup notes so someone can clone the repo, run it locally, package it, and deploy it. If anything is unclear, look up the current Quarkus and AWS CDK docs online and use the simplest working approach.
