The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Java, .NET, and Go. It provides high-level object-oriented constructs that compile to AWS CloudFormation templates for provisioning AWS resources.
Use cases
- define AWS infrastructure as code in TypeScript or Python
- provision cloud resources through CloudFormation
- share reusable infrastructure components across teams
- integrate infrastructure provisioning into CI/CD pipelines
- encapsulate AWS best practices in reusable constructs
- migrate backend infrastructure to automated provisioning
When to choose
- you are building on AWS and prefer programming languages over YAML/JSON templates
- you want reusable, testable infrastructure abstractions with best-practice defaults
- you need to integrate infrastructure definition with application code and CI/CD
When to avoid
- you target multi-cloud or non-AWS providers
- your team prefers declarative tools like Terraform or raw CloudFormation
- you work outside the supported language runtimes
