Overview

Awesome CDK is a curated, community-maintained list of open‑source projects, construct libraries, tools, examples, and learning materials for the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and related CDK-based frameworks. It helps developers discover reusable constructs, higher-level frameworks, and practical resources for building cloud infrastructure as code with CDK.

Features

Scope of Resources

• Focus on the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) and related CDK ecosystems.
• Includes open-source projects, guides, blogs, talks, and other learning resources.
• Emphasizes reusable CDK constructs and higher-level abstractions.

  • APIs
  • Databases
  • Static Websites
  • Security
  • Ops
  • Queue
  • CI/CD
  • Monitoring
  • Workflows
  • Multi-account setup
• High-Level Frameworks – Frameworks built on top of CDK that provide opinionated patterns or application structures.
• Scaffolding – Starters, templates, and generators to bootstrap new CDK projects.
• Language Support – Resources related to using CDK in different supported languages.
• Library Publishing – Tools and guidance for publishing CDK construct libraries.
• Tools – CLI tools, utilities, and auxiliary software that enhance CDK development and operations.
• Training Materials and Sample Code – Tutorials, courses, example repositories, and code samples for learning CDK.
