discord-interactions-python VS cdk-valheim

When we add this URL in the application settings, Discord will make sure that our endpoint is properly verifying the request based on its headers. Check out this function to see how it works:

I got the idea to use flask from this interaction examples on DIscord's GitHub: https://github.com/discord/discord-interactions-python/blob/main/examples/flask_app.py

The best part of CDK is that it enables the creation high-level, reusable constructs that can be published to software registries like npm and PyPI. Developers can import and use these constructs in their own CDK code. A quick google search for "cdk valheim" turned up a few results. cdk-valheim seems like the best option for what I was looking for. This project uses ECS, a container orchestration tool from AWS that I have experience using with web applications and EFS for persistent file storage. Although it is written in Typescript, I can still use the construct in my preferred programming language (Python) without any extra effort or configuration. This is thanks to the jsii. From https://github.com/aws/jsii:

That's correct, I am using Fargate to run the container, but I am using it by way of another CDK construct that I have imported in my CDK code: https://github.com/gotodeploy/cdk-valheim. CDK allows you to import reusable applications, so you don't have to write everything from scratch. I was going to try to write something similar, but this construct has everything I need and is tested. Even though it is written in Typescript, I can import it from PyPI were it is also published (thanks to jsii)

This is the cdk-valheim construct that I use in this project.
