CDK Construct Library: github.com/briancaffey/cdk-django

- Another aspect of my approach that I prefer over the other one is using a high-level construct that you publish and then consume in your project. This requires that you write a construct in TypeScript and then publish it to npm or PyPI. I'm working on a construct library for deploying Django apps with CDK called djagno-cdk, and one of the constructs in it uses ECS Fargate: https://github.com/briancaffey/django-cdk/blob/main/src/django-ecs.ts. Ideally you don't have everything in a single construct though, so I like how Mariano is doing that in his project. My Terraform project does a better job at separating layers of the application, so I need to apply that same principle to django-cdk when I get around to working on that project again.

Sure. My IaC journey actually started out with CloudFormation, and I learned a lot from this reference project: aws-samples/ecs-refarch-cloudformation. Then I picked up CDK when that became available and migrated a project from CloudFormation to CDK. It sounded like a nicer way to handle stacks in a familiar language with lots great one-liners and utility functions and constructs, and it definitely is. I have a similar project written in CDK that is an application/framework-first (Django) approach to learning and doing IaC that you can find here: https://github.com/briancaffey/django-cdk. This implements both ECS and EKS, but my attempts at learning EKS sort of fizzled out for now as I don't have the need to use it, and for the task at hand (running a monolithic Django application on AWS) I think ECS makes a LOT more sense.

I have an example of doing this here, and I posted about this earlier on this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/rj7sj2/deploying_django_applications_to_a_singlenode/

I'm not sure what you mean by "architecture", and I'm not sure what is wrong with trying to save money while learning how to do IaC and CI/CD. My thinking is that I can use some of what I learned here in a more robust setup of a Django app that uses ECS, I'm working on that here: https://github.com/briancaffey/django-cdk/blob/main/src/django-ecs.ts.

Here is on that I’m working on: https://github.com/briancaffey/django-cdk

Here's a link to the repo: https://github.com/briancaffey/django-cdk. This library currently offers high level constructs for EKS as well as ECS. I have previously used ECS for most of the containerized web apps I have worked with, so I'm hoping to use this as a way to compare the two orchestration tools for my use case and gather some best practices. This project includes a companion repo that is included as a git submodule that I have been to do live tests/deployments using my construct library.

https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk#at-a-glance is the "generate cloudformation using code," and is the AWS version of troposphere as best I can tell

environment: Specifies the environment variable that will be available to our Lambda function. In this case I wrote an environment for RDS Database. Anyway, later I will write about AWS CDK using Python for creating database clusters, etc.

Today, I will show you how to build Amazon Location Service, which allows you to build location-based applications within your AWS environment using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) and AWS CloudFormation. I will also show examples of the recently popular CDK Migrate and AWS CloudFormation IaC generator.

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK): is an open-source software development framework to define your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages.

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.

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.

AWS CDK

For KMS 🔑, Each key is ~$1/mo, and with CDK, keys are generated on a massive scale, if not centralized.

Here is a github repository containing the code and instructions on how to automate this whole setup using 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.
