Book Description
As cloud applications are becoming more complex, multiple tools and services have emerged to cater to the challenges of running reliable solutions. Although infrastructure as code, containers, and orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, have proved to be efficient in solving these challenges, AWS CDK represents a paradigm shift in building easily developed, extended, and maintained applications.

With AWS CDK in Practice, you'll start by setting up basic day-to-day infrastructure while understanding the new prospects that CDK offers. You'll learn how to set up pipelines for building CDK applications on the cloud that are long-lasting, agile, and maintainable. You'll also gain practical knowledge of container-based and serverless application development. Furthermore, you'll discover how to leverage AWS CDK to build cloud solutions using code instead of configuration files. Finally, you'll explore current community best practices for solving production issues when dealing with CDK applications.

By the end of this book, you'll have practical knowledge of CDK, and you'll be able to leverage the power of AWS with code that is simple to write and maintain using AWS CDK.What you will learnTurn containerized web applications into fully managed solutions
