Talk #1: Deploying (serverless) infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), by Marek Kuczynski

The cloud allows developers to build applications with a lot of flexibility to experiment. Architectures can be built using many self-hosted or managed services and there are constantly new releases and features coming out that can make your life easier. In order to evolve their architectures, many developers are using Infrastructure as Code solutions that can help them provision and update all the necessary cloud components in a repeatable way.

AWS released the Cloud Development Kit to give developers an easier way to create and deploy cloud infrastructure using their favourite programming language. By using higher level abstractions and constructs in the CDK, developers can quickly deploy and iterate their applications and deliver faster and better. You can use the solution also with Terraform and even deploy to other cloud providers or environments!

In this session, we will look at some of the most popular deployment frameworks to AWS and focus especially on CDK. We will explain the theory of how CDK works and show in a few demo's how container, serverless solutions but also many other solutions can be deployed easily.

Marek Kuczynski is a Senior Serverless Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services in The Netherlands. He has been with the company for almost 4 years and worked with enterprise and startup customers before working fulltime on serverless. Marek mostly develops using containers and Lambda functions on AWS, where he enjoys working with Golang and Python most. He also helps to co-organize the ServerlessDays meetup and conference in The Netherlands and speaks regularly at various other meetups.
