Getting Started With CDK for Terraform
summary
ShopStyle documents using CDK for Terraform with Python to manage 60+ stacks and calls out jsii/TypeScript under the hood. The demo actually creates an S3 + DynamoDB state backend (bucket blocking public access and a DynamoDB lock table), synthesizes Python into HCL JSON, then deploys a static website and prints its URL — the deploy completes successfully. Patterns shown include inheritance, reusable lib modules and integration with SDKs like boto3 for testing and automation, and linting/unit tests.
