AWS re:Invent 2023 - Advanced AWS CDK: Lessons learned from 4 years of use (COM302)

Released in July 2019, AWS CDK has become a powerful infrastructure-as-code tool to help companies build complex systems on AWS. Its greatest strength, using general purpose languages to define your infrastructure, can also be its greatest weakness. This is because there are many different ways to write your code. Should you use a single stack or multiple? How can you use external data to define your infrastructure? How do you test your code? In this session, learn best practices, patterns, and workflows developed over the last 4 years of using AWS CDK.

At about 14:00 I talk about a proper way of handling assets. However... This is totally wrong. And assets are smart enough to only generate once. In fact, passing a Code object into multiple stacks won't even work and synths fail. My bad =-/

[@FancyPantsProducers]

So listing out AssetThing.FromAsset(...) as a property in the construct is fine?

Hey, kudos for accountability! Loved your talk! I'm getting into CDK and it has been a pain but now I will try your lessons!

[@RodrigoDeVincenzoMonteiro]

That was amazing talk, in clear and concise way. I am CDK novice at early stages and the concepts make sense, and it was very fun to watch, thank you very much!
