CDK
AWS Cloud Development Kit for defining cloud infrastructure with code
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source software framework that lets developers define AWS cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages including TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go, which synthesize to CloudFormation templates. Its construct library provides high-level abstractions that encode AWS best practices for common patterns like VPCs, ECS clusters, and serverless APIs, reducing boilerplate while remaining configurable. AWS-centric engineering teams choose CDK over raw CloudFormation for its type safety, IDE completions, and ability to share and compose infrastructure patterns as versioned packages.
