Today we’re announcing the general availability (GA) of the HAQM EventBridge Scheduler and Targets Level 2 (L2) constructs in the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) construct library. EventBridge Scheduler is a serverless scheduler that enables users to schedule tasks and events at scale. Prior to the launch of these L2 constructs, developers had to […]

On May 30th, 2025, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) will no longer support Node.js 14.x and 16.x, which reached end of life on 4/30/2023 (14.x) and 9/11/2023 (16.x). This change applies to all AWS CDK components that depend on Node.js, including the AWS CDK CLI, the Construct Library, and broader CDK ecosystem projects such […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open source framework that enables developers to define cloud infrastructure using a familiar programming language. Additionally, CDK provides higher level abstractions (Constructs), which reduce the complexity required to define and integrate AWS services together when building on AWS. CDK also provides core functionality like CDK Assets, which […]

AWS CloudFormation: 2024 Year in Review AWS CloudFormation enables you to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code-base templates. Whether you prefer writing templates directly in JSON or YAML, or using programming languages like Python, Java, and TypeScript with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), CloudFormation and CDK provide the flexibility you need. […]

Today, we’re announcing the release of the new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for AWS Glue. This construct simplifies the correct configuration of Glue jobs, workflows, and triggers.

Recently, we launched a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for HAQM CloudFront Origin Access Control (OAC). This construct simplifies the configuration and maintenance of securing HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) CloudFront origins with CDK. Launched in 2022, OAC is the recommended way to secure your CloudFront distributions due to additional security features compared […]

We will be highlighting Projen’s powerful features that cater to various aspects of project management and development. We’ll examine how Projen enhances polyglot programming within HAQM Web Services (AWS) Cloud Development Kit constructs. We’ll also touch on its built-in support for common development tools and practices. In our previous blog, we introduced you to the […]

Did you know that HAQM Q Developer, a new type of Generative AI-powered (GenAI) assistant, can help developers and DevOps engineers accelerate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) development using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)? IaC is a practice where infrastructure components such as servers, networks, and cloud resources are defined and managed using code. Instead […]

Development teams adopt DevOps practices to increase the speed and quality of their software delivery. The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) metrics provide a popular method to measure progress towards that outcome. Using four key metrics, senior leaders can assess the current state of team maturity and address areas of optimization. This blog post shows […]

Refactor serverless apps by swapping application code with cloud automation: reduce costs, decouple logic from architecture, and leverage managed services’ native capabilities.
