Modern IT has been full of buzzwords and groundbreaking approaches in the past few years. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the latter. IaC is the practice of defining your infrastructure through code templates rather than using a GUI or manual effort. Using IaC has several benefits, such as better reusability, CI/CD integration, etc.; but most notably: it helps you achieve greater speed by treating infrastructure like 'cattle' – not' pets.' While IaC tools have made a long way since they first emerged, and a few purpose-built languages have also popped up, the need to approach such things from traditional programming languages has never disappeared. Pulumi and CDK from AWS are such tools, and, in this blog post, we will be exploring the latter.
