# cdk-patterns/serverless

This is intended to be a repo containing all of the official AWS Serverless architecture patterns built with CDK for developers to use. All patterns come in Typescript and Python with the exported CloudFormation also included.

## What it is
An open-source collection of AWS serverless architecture patterns implemented with AWS CDK, available in both TypeScript and Python with exported CloudFormation templates. It includes a CLI (cdkp) for scaffolding individual patterns and provides unit tests and Well-Architected learnings for each pattern.

## Use cases
- find aws cdk serverless architecture patterns
- scaffold a serverless project template with cdk
- learn event-driven aws architectures like eventbridge and step functions
- generate cloudformation templates from cdk patterns
- learn aws cdk through real examples
- bootstrap a lambda api project with dynamodb

## When to choose
- you build on AWS serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Step Functions) and want proven architecture starting points
- you want the same pattern in TypeScript or Python CDK with unit tests
- you want vanilla CloudFormation output alongside CDK code

## When to avoid
- you target non-AWS clouds or container-based serverless
- you need a production framework rather than reference patterns to copy
- you need Python lambda implementations - some patterns reuse JS lambdas
