CDK Weekly - Constructs, DynamoDB and Lambda@Edge

By Sebastian Korfmann • Issue #12 • View online

Heya - time for the 12th issue of CDK Weekly. Great to see that Step Functions are continuously being improved - find details in the most recent AWS CDK release 1.47

This week the AWS Solutions team launched their own Constructs library. The first 25 patterns which have been launched, look quite interesting. Keen to see where they’re going with this.

Find even more Construct Pattern Libraries, DynamoDB streams, a Cloudfront Image Resize Proxy and more in the curated links below.

Cheers,

Sebastian

ps: Any questions or content suggestions around the CDK? Just hit reply or ping me on Twitter :)

#awscdk 1.46.0 introduced the L2 constructs for AWS Global Accelerator. You can add any supported services in to the endpoint group with the new add* methods. See how it works with the ALB load-balanced Fargate service in this demo. Let's get everything accelerated! 🚀🔥🔥 https://t.co/f2pbQOXiPV

IAM Floyd's downloads after 24 days:

Python: ~1700
Node.js: 859
.NET: 718
Java: 0 😂

Java is exactly what I expected. Totally surprised by the Python and .NET numbers though. 😮

What's your experience with refactoring IaC and AWS CDK in particular? Anyone solved this properly yet? #aws #cdk #awscdk #iac https://t.co/JoFb3igFOj
