- Description: Infrastructure as Code is the backbone for building in the cloud: enabling automation, transparency, and speed. I used Terraform for years, but as setups got more complex, I hit the limits. Enter AWS CDK: IaC that speaks dev-friendly, AWS-native language.
In this talk, you’ll see CDK and Terraform head-to-head with real examples like Lambda deployments, IAM permissions, and more. No tool-bashing, just a straight-up reality check on where CDK shines and when Terraform still rules. Come join me and level up your IaC game on AWS! - Speaker:Nora Schöner
