AWS CDK Foundations
summary
Shows how AWS CDK maps every CloudFormation resource to L1 constructs and builds higher‑level L2 and L3 abstractions so a 1,323‑line YAML Fargate stack becomes a few lines of code. Demonstrates projen and JSII to scaffold a multi‑language construct library (TypeScript, .NET, Python), auto‑generated docs/tests, CI workflows and dist artifacts, and the publish flow to Construct Hub — including required credentials and a safeguard that blocks releases with uncommitted changes.
