Key benefits

  • Build complex cloud applications with the revolutionary AWS CDK
  • Gain practical knowledge of AWS CDK to leverage the powerful toolset of AWS
  • Employ practical exercises & architectural design patterns for developing modern serverless application

Description

As cloud applications are becoming more complex, multiple tools and services have emerged to cater to the challenges of running reliable solutions. Although infrastructure as code, containers, and orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, have proved to be efficient in solving these challenges, AWS CDK represents a paradigm shift in building easily developed, extended, and maintained applications. With AWS CDK in Practice, you’ll start by setting up basic day-to-day infrastructure while understanding the new prospects that CDK offers. You’ll learn how to set up pipelines for building CDK applications on the cloud that are long-lasting, agile, and maintainable. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of container-based and serverless application development. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to leverage AWS CDK to build cloud solutions using code instead of configuration files. Finally, you’ll explore current community best practices for solving production issues when dealing with CDK applications. By the end of this book, you’ll have practical knowledge of CDK, and you’ll be able to leverage the power of AWS with code that is simple to write and maintain using AWS CDK.

Who is this book for?

This book is for traditional full stack developers looking to explore the new world of Infrastructure as Code and serverless applications, solutions architects seeking to define their services with AWS CDK, and DevOps specialists searching for a better management technique to configure files. Readers should not be new to coding and must have experience in web development in languages such as Python, JS, Typescript, Java, etc. along with a basic understanding of how web applications are developed.

What you will learn

  • Turn containerized web applications into fully managed solutions
  • Explore the benefits of building DevOps into everyday code with AWS CDK
  • Uncover the potential of AWS services with CDK
  • Create a serverless-focused local development environment
  • Self-assemble projects with CI/CD and automated live testing

If you are just starting in your cloud journey, may as well start with AWS as one of the largest global providers. The CDK helps build cloud-native applications and mix to existing business process to enhance overall revenues. The authors expertly guide the reader through basic constraints. Starting with a basic cloud app construction, the process works through from stakeholder holder integration to more advanced processes. Good place to get started on your cloud journey.

A very helpful book for anyone looking to get started with CDK. I highly recommend it for those who are transitioning to CDK for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). I really appreciated the book's writing style, which includes plenty of examples that make it easy for anyone to grasp the concepts.

Recently, I had the opportunity to review the Packt Publishing book AWS CDK in Practice, by Mark Avdi and Leo Lam. For anyone that is attempting to implement the use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within AWS, this book is for you. Mark and Leo provide an in depth guide as to the why and the how of utilizing the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Development Kit (CDK) as the foundation for your IaC development and deployment. This includes web applications, serverless deployments of AWS Lambda and API Gateways, and CI/CD integration. I recommend this book for anyone that is working within AWS and needs guidance for deploying applications. The AWS CDK can help to get you there and this book provides the playbook.

I've found the book very useful. It starts with the basic but then it covers also more advanced topics. The Serverless chapter was very useful for me. Recommended.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
