The secret weapon every developer needs

Key Takeaways

I've spent countless hours building AM policies until I met the CDK. I'm asking developers what's that one feature of the CDK that they think everyone should know about. That the read me for each module tells you pretty much everything you know about how to use that code. It's the asset subsystem to write Lambda functions and container images natively in your code. The higher level abstractions that include sane defaults are lifesavers. the fact that you don't need to craft any high-end policies because the framework is able to produce it automatically. What was your aha moment with the CDK? I was on a project where I had to manage seven environments and 50 databases per environment. So all those different settings and configuration values and getting to use the CDK. It's the possibility to write intention instead of infrastructure code that exist. So the fact that the developer can pick it up so easily. It was the moment I understood how easy it was to produce new resources on AWS in my favorite programming language which is Python. What's your favorite feature of the CDK? Let us know in the comments.
