aws-cdk

Since I got to know CDK[0], I prefer it over serverless. It's supported by AWS, too. It can deploy your lambda, or it an just generate a Cloudformation template - these 2 covers the most important features of serverless that our team uses.

As an AWS employee on the container services team one of my KPI's is definitely making things more usable. Have you seen the AWS Cloud Development Kit? (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk) It is a more powerful infrastructure as code framework that can docker build, docker push, and run an AWS Fargate task with just a few lines of declarative TypeScript or Python code. You can see some examples here in the "ecs-patterns" module: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-ecs-patt... In general I'd say that AWS takes the approach of offering a lot of configurability if you need to tweak things. You can go into that low level JSON or YAML if you want, but we are also providing higher level tools like AWS CDK which do the work for you, and let you just focus on building your app with just a few lines of code. I'd say that the referenced

The CDK[0] will hopefully help with the cloudformation story. [0] https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk

CloudFormation YAML being terrible is well known, to the point that AWS did precisely what that person suggested. https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk They are in the process of releasing a kit to define your infrastructure programmatically, and let them deal with the mess of CloudFormation as a compiled IR they send to their backend when you deploy.

This is the AWS Cloud Development Kit. It is still under very active development, so keep that in mind as a caveat, but it provides a much higher level, much more simple and intuitive way to define cloud infrastructure as code in your favorite languages: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk For context I've been able to take thousands of lines of CloudFormation YAML and replace it with around 500 lines of much clearer and easier to read JavaScript. And that 500 lines automatically builds five Lambda functions, builds, pushes, and launches two Docker images that run in AWS Fargate, configures an API Gateway and a CloudFront distribution. CDK is really a game changer in terms of allowing developers to take an idea and turn it into infrastructure as code extremely quickly and properly (CDK automatically generates many best practices like minim

Hi, is Pulumi an generalized AWS CDK(https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/examples/cdk-...)? Looks pretty similar :D
