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 solutionsExplore the benefits of building DevOps into everyday code with AWS CDKUncover the potential of AWS services with CDKCreate a serverless-focused local development environmentSelf-assemble projects with CI/CD and automated live testingBuild the complete path from development to production with AWS CDKBecome well versed in dealing with production issues through best practicesWho this book is forThis book is for traditional full stack developers looking to explore the new world of Infrastructure as Code and serverless applications, solutions architects seeking to define their services with AWS CDK, and DevOps specialists searching for a better management technique to configure files.
