AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
AWS Cloud Development Kit lets you model cloud infrastructure using code rather than raw templates. It translates your programming language definitions into deployable resources, streamlining how you define and manage your stack through familiar syntax instead of verbose configuration files.
This approach fits teams already comfortable with coding who want to treat infrastructure as part of their application logic. However, there is no free tier, so you pay as you go for every resource provisioned, which can add up quickly if you aren't careful with your resource definitions and cleanup.
