AWS Cloud Development Kit: Boost your Infrastructure
summary
Demonstrates the AWS CDK actually generating CloudFormation (synth + deploy), creating a load‑balanced Fargate service, generates least‑privilege IAM for resources, and builds and pushes Docker to ECR as part of deployment. Shows the three construct levels (L1 raw CloudFormation, L2 service‑opinionated, L3 reusable patterns), uses TypeScript as the canonical source for multi‑language output, and proves the demo app deploys. Notes practical limits: beta churn, hashed logical names that complicate migration, and the 200‑resource stack ceiling.
