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 CDKÂ (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?!

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.
websocat - Command-line client for WebSockets, like netcat (or curl) for ws:// with advanced socat-like functions
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
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-cdk - Define infrastructure resources using programming constructs and provision them using HashiCorp Terraform
Cypress - Fast, easy and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser.
nvm - Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions
cdk-eventbridge-socket - CDK construct that creates a WebSocket endpoint for you for any EventBridge rule you are interested in. (Built for debugging + testing )
Pulumi - Pulumi - Infrastructure as Code in any programming language. Build infrastructure intuitively on any cloud using familiar languages 🚀
aws-cdk - The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code
cdk8s - Define Kubernetes native apps and abstractions using object-oriented programming [Moved to: https://github.com/cdk8s-team/cdk8s]
