AWS CDK v2 Project Setup and Introduction (with a Lambda + SQS Example in Python)

In this video, I walk you through the process of setting up a brand new project using Cloud Development Kit (CDK) v2. I show you how to initialize a starter project, explain the file structure, describe how stacks and constructs work, and show you how to initialize a Lambda Function and SQS queue.

[@genefreak]

Thank you so much. This is by far the best beginners introduction to CDK anywhere on KZbin. You have quite possibly saved my life... well, my job anyway! 🙂

[@treyhannam3806]

This is amazing, thank you!

[@hakeemshahzadibegum1478]

So pleasing, but trying to make a good living with this course,

[@pythonbrothersandfamily]

brooo you are a super hero. Thanks a looot

[@vazel48]

Magic! 8-) Thank you very much!

[@jam1239665]

Can you do a Playlist for ci/cd from start to finish which includes alpha, beta, prod stages and includes integration stages using stepfunctions?

[@modoulaminceesay9211]

Thanks man i have used terraform , cloudformation but I like this because I am able to test what I have created

[@hamzazahidulislam3490]

Thank you so much 😍

[@davemeech]

Your content is the greatest. Thank you for your excellent videos. One thing we're kind of struggling with at work is doing CDK IAC development via TDD. It seems as though we need to be fluent with cloudfront and borderline need to anticipate what the output is going to be and have it represented in almost its entirety in fine grained assertions. Is TDD a reasonable approach? AWS docs does recommend it in documentation but doesn't really offer anything as far as guidance.

[@volodymyrmatselyukh8808]

Cool tutorial, thanks. I'd love to see how to pass env variables to the stack. Do you have any videos on that?

[@victormendoza3295]

Good timing on the TF lice sense changing. I'm wondering what is a good TF alternative for AWS.

[@jofla]

pulumi is very similar to cdk but generic, or just use cdk

[@jayantsinha8013]

can i get your udemy course link for cdk using python, if your talking about ECS then it will be plus. Thanks!

[@christopher5731]

the typescript version of the sample app is very different
