Infrastructure as Code with AWS CDK and TypeScript

This talk introduces AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and demonstrates using TypeScript to define cloud infrastructure in code. We’ll explore the core concepts of CDK, including apps, stacks, and constructs, and walk through building a simple AWS stack using familiar programming patterns. You’ll learn how CDK helps developers manage infrastructure with greater flexibility and maintainability, while also covering best practices, real-world use cases, and how CDK compares to other Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform. Whether you're new to CDK or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will provide practical insights and code examples to get you started deploying cloud resources in a developer-friendly way.

Speaker:
Ted Patrick, the Co-founder/CTO of Acumity—an AI Application focused on Human Intelligence—will lead the discussion.

⚡ News From the Bleeding Edge
