Welcome to Part 2 of “Starting with CDK” . In Part 1 I helped you prepare your environments for CDK, as well as deploy and examine your first CDK application.
This is a cross-post from the Cockroach Labs blog. Cockroach Labs have been kind enough to sponsor our book Programming AWS Lambda, which you can download for free from the Cockroach Labs website.
Simple, single-responsiblity, AWS Lambda applications have one Lambda function and one event source. You might use API Gateway to provide a simple HTTP-callable interface to a Lambda function.
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) has become, in its short history, a very popular infrastructure-as-code tool. It’s not too surprising why - it allows engineers to use richer programming languages to define infrastructure, rather than having to use JSON or YAML.
Serverless isn’t just Lambda Here at Symphonia, we’re proponents of all things Serverless. This means that in addition to technologies like AWS Lambda, we make heavy use of managed backends-as-a-service that address concerns like scaling, resource allocation, and process management, while giving us and our clients granular billing with minimal fixed costs.
