CDK

Cloud Development Kit

Definition

AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) lets engineers define cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and Java instead of YAML or JSON templates. CDK synthesizes infrastructure definitions into CloudFormation templates, enabling type safety, code reuse via constructs, and unit testing of infrastructure.

It bridges the gap between application code and infrastructure configuration.
