Tutorials
Developers can access comprehensive walkthroughs designed to help them begin working with the AWS CDK, enabling infrastructure definitions in their preferred programming language and subsequent deployment via AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.
The foundational tutorial covers environment setup essentials and the process of deploying applications to AWS using the CDK Toolkit. Participants will construct a basic Lambda function that responds with "Hello, world" and expose it through an API Gateway endpoint, allowing HTTP-based invocation. The guide also demonstrates how to develop custom CDK constructs that encapsulate infrastructure logic into modular, reusable pieces, and how to integrate pre-built constructs from established libraries into deployment stacks.
AWS Solutions Constructs
AWS Solutions Constructs represent validated architectural approaches offered as an open-source addition to the AWS CDK. These patterns enable teams to declaratively assemble production-grade workloads with minimal effort. Additional information is available through the AWS Solutions Constructs patterns directory.
