Sharing my personal notes that I made while watching interesting talks of CDK Day 2021.
General
- There’s not only CDK for AWS but there’s CDK for Kubernetes & CDK for Terraform
- AWS SAM CLI supports local testing of AWS applications written using AWS CDK.
- Construct Hub — CDK Construct Catalog
- CDK Patterns — Collection of serverless architecture patterns built using CDK.
- CDK Solution Constructs — Serverless architectures for common use-cases that follow best practices.
- Here’s a good talk on how folks at Liberty Mutual are executing their serverless-first approach using Software Accelerator, a self-service tool using which they can quickly create project boilerplates and associated CI/CD pipelines.
