Controversial opinion here: just use CDK. Learn cloud formation for advanced stuff. It’s really not that hard and pays dividends

Controversial opinion here: just use CDK. Learn cloud formation for advanced stuff. It’s really not that hard and pays dividends
- ptdorf 2y agoIn my experience AWS' CloudFormation is limited in the number of resources and exposed APIs than any of the CDK.
- nextworddev 2y agoAWS service teams provide cloud formation support before CDK support in many cases, so eventually CDK users run into situations where they need to look at CF
- coredog64 2y agoJust learn CloudFormation. It’s not that hard, and if you really want to write code, you can implement custom resources for all the times the service team let you down.
- __turbobrew__ 2y agoCDK is a second class citizen, it is missing implementations for many services and features. CDK was DOA as it should have been a requirement that when AWS added something to terraform it needed to be added to CDK as well.
