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?!

AWS Cloud Platform for highly loaded WordPress website
I am not only a big fan of hashicorp terraform. I'm also one of the early adopters of it. So this is my main go-to Infrastructure as a Code tool. However all the resources I use are supported by other IaaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK. You definitely got to use one to avoid loosing the track of resources you create.

Why CISA Is Warning CISOs About a Breach at Sisense
State Encryption was one of those long requested features[0] (I had it on my ideas list for years[1]) that Hashicorp didn't have much incentive to build. I don't think it has to with distancing opentofu as such, but the opentofu team prioritizing the right things that customers actually need.

OpenTofu Response to HashiCorp's Cease and Desist Letter
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34402
I’m not a lawyer and have no idea who is right or wrong but I understand why Hashicorp is scrutinizing this.

The power of the CLI with Golang and Cobra CLI
Just to give an example of the power of Go for CLI builds, you may have already used or at least heard of Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Terraform, but what do they all have in common? They all have a large part of their usability via CLI and are developed in Go 🐿.

I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)
Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

The Essential Guide to Internal Developer Platforms
For example, integrating Terraform for infrastructure as code (IaC) into the IDP can streamline updates and rollbacks.

Experience Continuous Integration with Jenkins | Ansible | Artifactory | SonarQube | PHP
In this project, you will understand and get hands on experience around the entire concept around CI/CD from applications perspective. To fully gain real expertise around this idea, it is best to see it in action across different programming languages and from the platform perspective too. From the application perspective, we will be focusing on PHP here; there are more projects ahead that are based on Java, Node.js, .Net and Python. By the time you start working on Terraform, Docker and Kubernetes projects, you will get to see the platform perspective of CI/CD in action.

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.
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.
terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
websocat - Command-line client for WebSockets, like netcat (or curl) for ws:// with advanced socat-like functions
Docker Compose - Define and run multi-container applications with Docker
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!
terraform-provider-restapi - A terraform provider to manage objects in a RESTful API
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 )
boto3 - AWS SDK for Python
