So gaining AWS CDK as a skill is still a work-in-progress for me. I use the documentation a lot, along with relying on my former AWS experience to know what I need. If it’s interesting to you, I wrote a blog post on How I Learned AWS which shares my experience with AWS, but not necessarily the CDK.

We use Python and TypeScript already on our team, so changing over to using CDK instead of Terraform was a matter of consolidating our tech stack to have one fewer language to stay up-to-date on.

This is super cool to see. I wonder where the AWS CDK ranks on this list. We’ve recently transitioned from Terraform to using the CDK, but use a lot of the technologies listed here like Docker, Ansible, and GitLab’s CI/CD.
