The CDK will enable a new generation of Serverless Developers

In this talk, I will explore how the CDK solves these problems and brings infrastructure-as-code closer to DevOps engineers than ever before. I will cover three segments: the power of a multi-language framework, the benefits of applying unit testing to your infrastructure and applying the time-proven concepts of object oriented design and DRY to your infrastructure-as-code.

Work on your Lambda functions live

AWS CDK has been great for us and our readers over on Serverless Stack. But the local development experience for Lambda isn't great. To fix this we created a Live Lambda Development environment in SST. SST makes it easier to build serverless apps by allowing you to work on your Lambda functions locally while connecting to your deployed resources.
