Stop configuring infrastructure, start coding it!
summary
Shows how CDK (and alternatives like Pulumi or cdktf) replaces ~300 lines of YAML CloudFormation with ~30 lines of code by using L2/L3 constructs to build a VPC, security groups, an ALB and an EC2 Auto Scaling group serving a simple web page. CDK compiles to CloudFormation or Kubernetes manifests, supports Python/TypeScript/Java/Go, offers IDE autocomplete, testable code, import from existing templates and reusable opinionated components that actually deploy and tear down in real accounts.
