CDK Weekly - Polyglot Registry, Performance & a Time Bomb

Heya - time for the 10th issue of CDK Weekly. There were a few minor releases of the AWS CDK since the last issue. Besides from a bunch of features and fixes, there was a significant improvement for testing.

In other news, AWS just launched CodeArtifact, a polyglot package registry perfectly suited for distributing AWS CDK packages within an organization.

There was quite a bit of content since the last edition of this newsletter. Feels like the CDK ecosystem is gaining traction. Enjoy a practically free Lighthouse Performance check, an ephemeral file sharing service, a time bomb construct to nuke your stack automatically and more in the curated links below.

Cheers,

Sebastian
