Mastering AWS CDK Part 1: Using Built-In Constructs for Serverless APIs

2023-10-27T05:39:10+00:00

In the realm of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within AWS, CloudFormation stands out as the foundational service. Many other IaC solutions, whether it's the Serverless Framework, AWS SAM, or even Terraform, ultimately get translated into CloudFormation. Additionally, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) has emerged as a distinct player in this space. What sets AWS CDK apart is its embrace of familiar programming languages. Instead of relying on YAML or proprietary syntax, with AWS CDK, developers can define infrastructure using languages like Python, Javascript, Typescript, Java, C#, and Go. This familiarity accelerates the adoption curve, enabling developers to direct their [...]
