Developing enterprise application patterns with the AWS CDK

Enterprises often need to standardize their infrastructure as code (IaC) for governance, compliance, and quality control reasons. You also need to manage and centrally publish updates to your IaC libraries. In this post, we demonstrate how to use the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) to define patterns for IaC and publish them for consumption in controlled releases using AWS CodeArtifact.

Deploying your CDK app to different stages and environments

For this blog post, I want to show this based on a simple sample application that runs an nginx Webserver using ECS and Fargate and has an ApplicationLoadBalancer as an entry point. Using the ECS patterns library of the CDK, this is only one construct named ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService and has a few settings like container image, number of containers and potentially fixed domain names.

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.
