Golden pathways for cloud builders
summary
Covers concrete cloud paths: use AWS CDK and SAM to build Lambda backends (demo: API Gateway → Lambda calling Amazon Translate, deployed with CDK deploy and updated live with CDK watch), attach EFS to Lambda for larger storage, and run containers with Fargate or App Runner (demo: App Runner custom domain + Route 53 + ACM; App Runner scales 1–25 instances). Recommends CDK-Nag, local SAM testing, and developer tools Amazon CodeWhisperer and CodeGuru plus CodeCatalyst auto-provisioned dev environments for CI/CD and repo management.
