Honestly, always surprised I don't see more about CDK. As far as I am concerned, this is the future of software development. Object oriented infrastructure, where you create abstractions over pieces of infrastructure, put them into a library, and then use them as composable components is incredibly powerful. We are just scratching the surface, and through libraries like constructs, large swaths of development will be automated.
Again, this is incredibly powerful.
For those that don't know, cloudformation is now often thought as the assembly language of cloud development, with CDK the higher level language.
I work at Amazon, and here we have a growing library of internal CDK constructs that make creating internally facing infrastructure, that works with other infra, incredibly easy. Even the databases that other teams have, their queues, etc, can be vended as common infrastructure packages, and then consumed, attaching your own AWS resources to theirs via library imports.
