Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What's Next for CDK? 👀
This was the most voted RFC.
-
Build AWS Serverless Scheduled Tasks with Amazon EventBridge and CDK
The scheduler is a refined and improved version of the older rules mechanism. So, why would you use the older rule mechanism for scheduled tasks? I don’t see any reason other than the better CDK constructs support (which is only temporary, see this PR).
-
Building a Robust Serverless Messaging Service with Amazon EventBridge Pipes and CDK
CDK released the L1 construct for Pipes in v2.55 back in December 2022. Unfortunately, the L2 construct is still in progress, so we will have to manually specify most of the CloudFormation template but bear with me, it won’t be too painful. The community is working on an L2 construct; you can find the issue on GitHub here.
-
Regain control over orphaned resources with CDK
The experimental cdk feature is described here. The rfc is still open so you might be able to track or influence how it will stabilize.
-
Serverless Weather Reporting with AWS Step Functions and CDK
More info on L1 vs L2 constructs here. I plan to keep an eye on this open RFC.
- Various cdk assets and implications of deleting them
-
Moving to CDK pipelines from not using pipelines
You could hardcode the stack names. But this is one of the biggest limitations CDK still has: no easy way yet to refactor names like this. There's an open RFC, but it isn't moving much.
-
Create Serverless Data Pipeline Using AWS CDK (Python)
It is not very convenient to delete some resources manually and there are several discussions with AWS developers to fix it.
-
Testing the Async Cloud with AWS CDK
It's worth mentioning that AWS CDK already has an RFC for integration testing so we might end up with something even better. In the meantime, if you are serious about integration testing, time to give AWS CDK and Provider Framework a look!

Ping Me! (Intro: IaC and Prep Work)
One apparent limitation of the CDK is that, at least for the nonce, it can only be used with AWS (there are two notable projects in the work right now that will greatly expand CDK's reach: cdk8s and cdktf). With Terraform you can use choose from a plethora of providers. Hell, I was able to set up my home network running on Unifi Dream Machine using Terraform. How cool is that?!

How To Implement AWS SSB Controls in Terraform - Part 4
If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

systemd by example (2021)
funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.
it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Playing devil's advocate with Terraform
A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

The Complete Microservices Guide
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
What are some alternatives?
Ansible - Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
terraform-cdk - Define infrastructure resources using programming constructs and provision them using HashiCorp Terraform
websocat - Command-line client for WebSockets, like netcat (or curl) for ws:// with advanced socat-like functions
cdk8s - Define Kubernetes native apps and abstractions using object-oriented programming
jsii - jsii allows code in any language to naturally interact with JavaScript classes. It is the technology that enables the AWS Cloud Development Kit to deliver polyglot libraries from a single codebase!
terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
Cypress - Fast, easy and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser.
crossplane - The Cloud Native Control Plane
cdk-eventbridge-socket - CDK construct that creates a WebSocket endpoint for you for any EventBridge rule you are interested in. (Built for debugging + testing )
bicep - Bicep is a declarative language for describing and deploying Azure resources
aws-cdk - The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code
