AWS Solutions Constructs is an open-source extension of the AWS CDK that provides multi-service, well-architected patterns for defining cloud infrastructure in code. It packages best-practice defaults for common AWS architecture combinations into reusable, higher-level constructs.

Use cases

• define multi-service AWS architectures with well-architected defaults
• quickly scaffold serverless patterns like API Gateway plus Lambda plus DynamoDB
• enforce security best practices in CDK infrastructure code
• create predictable and repeatable infrastructure as code
• accelerate CDK development with prebuilt architectural patterns

When to choose

• you already use AWS CDK and want vetted multi-service patterns
• you want well-architected best practices applied by default
• you need to standardize AWS infrastructure patterns across teams

When to avoid

• you deploy to non-AWS clouds
• you need full low-level control over every resource property
• your team does not use CDK or infrastructure-as-code
