Best Practices for Deploying Well-Architected, Serverless Python Applications to AWS with CDK
summary
Shows concrete Python tooling and patterns: uses AWS CDK to generate CloudFormation from small Python constructs (six lines replacing large JSON), organizes code into reusable CDK skeleton patterns for baked-in security and compliance, and demos libraries: boto3 for resources, Lambda Powertools for JSON logging, X‑Ray tracing and custom metrics, moto for mocking, pytest+CDK assertions for template tests, and tox for test environments. Mentions tuna profiling to find Lambda cold-start hotspots and starter patterns that teams reuse successfully.
