Welcome to the AWS CDK Tutorials repository! Here, you'll find a collection of example projects and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) stacks that demonstrate how to build and configure various technologies in AWS.
This AWS CDK Tutorials repository serves as a learning resource for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone interested in building infrastructure on AWS using the AWS CDK. Each example project is broken down into steps and has a linked blog post (in some cases a YouTube video as well) that show you everything you need to know about that project.
Before you follow along with one of the example projects, it's a good idea to get the following technologies setup and configured.
- Find an example project you want to follow along with.
- Read the linked blog post/watch the YouTube video.
- Follow along with the code.
- Integrate it into your own projects! 🚀
This repository acts like a mono-repository, each folder in the root directory is a standalone project that contains everything needed to run that project.
