Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point but doesn't Cloudformation use the cloud APIs directly? I'm curious why the extra level of indirection is important.

- debaserab2 6y agoCloudFormation does quite a bit of work to manage and calculate state differences. It's not CDK itself managing it (to my knowledge). This is noteworthy because many times CDK's constraints match CloudFormation's constraints. I've noticed a few issues in the CDK github repo that a feature is incomplete because they are waiting for a change or feature to land in CloudFormation first.
