AWS Cloud Development Kit resources

Tutorials

Below you will find step-by-step tutorials on getting started with the AWS CDK so that you can easily define cloud infrastructure in your favorite programming language and deploy it using AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.

In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of setting up a development environment and deploying your app to an AWS environment with the CDK Toolkit. You’ll write a “Hello, world” Lambda function and front it with an API Gateway endpoint so users can call it via an HTTP request. You will also learn how to build your own CDK constructs to bundle your infrastructure into reusable components and then how to use that construct from a pre-packaged library in your stack.

AWS Solutions Constructs

AWS Solutions Constructs are vetted architecture patterns, available as an open-source extension of the AWS CDK, that can be easily assembled declaratively to create a production-ready workload. Visit our AWS Solutions Constructs patterns directory to learn more.
