## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: infrastructure-as-code, deployment, developer-tools
- domain: cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: aws-cdk, constructs, architectural-patterns, well-architected, iac, cloudformation, devops, aws, nodejs
