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.

DevSecOps with AWS- IaC at scale - Building your own platform - Part 1
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK): is an open-source software development framework to define your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages.

Cloud, why so difficult? 🤷♀️
I am not one to build programming languages on a whim. In fact, I've spent the last five years building the AWS CDK, which is a multi-language library that addresses some of the challenges I am talking about by allowing developers to define cloud infrastructure using their favorite programming language.

Create a Next.js Server Component S3 Picture Uploader with SST
I recently started exploring SST as an alternative to my favorite full-stack set consisting of Projen, AWS CDK, and React. I have been thoroughly impressed with the experience so far. In this article, I will demonstrate how to create a Next.js App Router S3 Picture Uploader using SST.

How to Implement and Deploy a Smart Contract Event Listener with AWS CDK
Now that you have a working smart contract event listener, we'll deploy the resources to AWS using AWS CDK, which is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. AWS CDK allows you to configure, deploy, and manage AWS cloud resources using popular programming languages such as TypeScript.

The Ultimate Guide to Building Internal Tools in 2024
Amazon CDK is an excellent example of an internal tool (which they’ve since open-sourced) for defining resources for your cloud application using well-known programming languages.

What's Next for CDK? 👀
This is actually already available but is still an experimental feature so there are no guarantees about the outcome or stability of the functionality.

AWS Data Engineer Associate Certification - Coming Soon
Interestingly, AWS CDK and SAM are both explicitly mentioned. While CDK broadly addresses Infrastructure as Code, SAM is highlighted for its role in developing serverless data pipelines - a hugely underrated concept.

Infrastructure as Code: A Beginner's Guide
As organizations continue to embrace Infrastructure as Code (IAC) principles, the landscape of tools and frameworks to achieve this goal has expanded significantly. Among the prominent players in this arena are AWS CDK, Pulumi, and Terraform. Each of these tools brings its unique approach and features to the table, catering to the diverse needs of developers and operations teams. In this section, we will delve into a detailed comparison of these three tools, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and use cases.

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.

Authorization and Amazon Verified Permissions - A New Way to Manage Permissions Part XIII: Cloudformation
Cloudformation (IaC) does not need to be introduced to anyone, plus if you read the previous blogpost, the terraform provider (CC) we used is based on Cloudformation. Moreover, you will notice a lot of similarities, after all, we are implementing the same scenario, but with a different tool.

Generative (A)IaC in the IDE with Application Composer
AWS Application Composer launched in the AWS Console at re:Invent one year ago, and this re:Invent it expanded to the VS Code IDE as part of the AWS Toolkit - but that’s not the only exciting part. When using App Composer in the IDE, users also get access to a generative AI partner that will help them write infrastructure as code (IaC) for all 1100+ AWS CloudFormation resources that Application Composer now supports.

Seamless Cloud Infrastructure: Integrating Terragrunt and Terraform with AWS
If you're provisioning the above resources for the first time, you'll have to either configure Terraform to use specific AWS keys as you won't have OIDC connection yet. In my case, I chose to have those pre-requesites resources in a CloudFormation template and deploy them with StackSets.

Deploy Secure Spring Boot Microservices on Amazon EKS Using Terraform and Kubernetes
At this point, the first question that might pop up in your mind would be, "Why not use CloudFormation?". It's a good question; after all, CloudFormation is built by AWS and hence sounds like an excellent solution to manage AWS resources. But anyone who has tried both CloudFormation and Terraform will probably tell you to forget that CloudFormation even exists. I think CloudFormation is far more complex and less developer-friendly than Terraform. You also need to write a lot more boilerplate with CloudFormation in YAML or JSON. Yikes! In contrast, Terraform is elegant and concise, and the syntax is easier to read and write. It's cross-platform, developer-friendly, and does not require a lot of ramp-up time.
