`aws-cdk-playground`

Motivation

AWS Cloud Development Kit is an open source software development framework to model and provision your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages.

This repository is a set of examples that we have collected and battle-tested during our work for various clients and project domains. Based on those experiences, @afronski created a talk titled AWS CDK: Your Infrastructure is Code! about that we finally arrive to a point when there is no longer need for creating a ton of YAML files or code in DSL that are immitating real programming languages.

Examples

01-serverless - very simple example in Python flavor of AWS CDK that covers IaC for simple serverless application with API Gateway and Lambda handler in Python 3.7.
02-constructs - more advanced example in Python flavor of AWS CDK that covers IaC for a workshop and generating multiple resources in a loop, creating a custom construct, using various helpers and parametrization via context. This example includes very simple tests as a sneak peek for the next example.
03-testing - this time we switch to TypeScript to show how easy is to test IaC created with AWS CDK with use of Jest and aws-cdk-assert libraries.
04-existing-cloudformation-template - last, but not least - an example showing two ways how you can migrate an existing template to the AWS CDK (including a template and overrides).
