Managing cloud infrastructure through code brings numerous advantages over manual configuration, including version control, reproducibility, and automated deployment pipelines. In this post, we’ll explore how to use AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) with TypeScript to create, manage, and deploy serverless applications with infrastructure that’s as maintainable and type-safe as your application code.

Why CDK with TypeScript?

AWS CDK offers a compelling alternative to traditional infrastructure tools by allowing you to define cloud resources using familiar programming languages. When combined with TypeScript, CDK provides compile-time type checking, intelligent code completion, and the ability to create reusable, composable infrastructure components.
