Building applications in the Cloud using Go and the AWS CDK
summary
Demo shows AWS CDK preview for Go used end to end: cdk init → go build → cdk synth → cdk deploy. It builds a Go URL shortener as lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB, wires the table name into the function, grants permissions with table.grantReadWriteData, and outputs the API URL. A single high-level construct produces 37 resources and ~800 lines of CloudFormation from a few lines of code, deployment succeeds, the API returns a short code and redirects correctly.
