Stop being a YAML engineer, be a software engr. with CDK8s
summary
Shows that using CDK8s (TypeScript, Python, Java, Go) replaces hand-written manifests with real code, can import CRDs, and uses the CLI + synth to emit vanilla YAML ready for kubectl apply. Demonstrates CDK8s Plus high-level constructs that wire Deployment/Service/Ingress for you, cutting the example from about 45 lines of YAML to 30 lines of code and reducing repetition via variables, IDE autocompletion, and packageable reusable constructs.
