An Introduction to AWS CDK (and why you should be using it!)

AWS CDK, or Cloud Development Kit, is a new offering from AWS that helps you manage your AWS infrastructure. In this video, I talk about what CDK is, its precursor technology, and why its such an incredible piece of technology. Finally, I walk you through how to get started by installing CDK and creating a DynamoDB table.

Amazing .... waiting for a complete project with JS or TS to practise

[CloudSecurityGuy]

This was awesome . Thank you so much as I am working on writing about CKD for the moment

[ilovepizza]

and how do you find that piece of code that created the dynamo db table

[markopavlovic]

Why did you installed node module for dynamodb if you already have in folder node models

[TheLostBijou]

Hey Daniel, could you provide the code you dropped in?

[EddyVinck]

Had no idea you could use CDK to generate Terraform files. That’s neat!

Can we upgrade system build with aws amplify to cdk. If so, what would be the key things to consider for this migration.

[vishalchavhan]

Can you plz get more videos on python cdk with ec2 and ecs

[ralfrolfen]

I seems the code you provide is not valid anymore. You need to import `import * as dynamodb from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dynamodb';` in order for it to work.

cdk v1 is apparently deprecated and officially out of support. Instead cdk v2 is now being used.

I am a noob when it comes to programming..But still constantly learning..Picked up the book Design patterns that you recommended and have another logic and design book as well..
Can I still use CDK or do i need to spend more time learning logic and design ect?

CDK replaces SAM ?. Or can they work together?

[LaughPandas]

Dear Sir, Will you, please support me in setting up the CDK environment on my window? I am following guidance from the community but cannot deploy; Please, I need personal support. You are the best one.
