Example Project from A First Look at CDK

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is a software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. It supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#/.Net, and (almost) Go.

Developers can use one of the supported programming languages to define reusable cloud components known as Constructs that are composed together into Stacks and Apps.

This is a project for JavaScript development with CDK. The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app. The build step is not required when using JavaScript.
