AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source software used to model and provision cloud applications and resources with familiar programming languages. It supports various languages like JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go. The benefit is to improve the experience of working with infrastructure as code by providing higher level and reusable constructs that enable developers to create and manage AWS resources more efficiently and with less boilerplate code compared to traditional configuration files like AWS CloudFormation templates. Earlier I was using AWS CloudFormation templates. When I switched to AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), I was able to reuse the constructs that enable me to create and manage AWS resources more efficiently, and it has less boilerplate code compared to the traditional configuration files like CloudFormation templates. It supports all the languages, including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go, which made my work easy. Stacks contain definitions for one or more cloud resources in AWS. Stacks are also called the unit of deployments. Any number of stacks can be defined in an application in CDK.
