Projen: The Next CDK Suprise!

1. projen

   1 21 2,958 9.6 TypeScript

   Rapidly build modern applications with advanced configuration management

   

   Today, the main community hubs are the CDK.dev Slack #projen channel and the GitHub project.

2. AppSignal

   www.appsignal.com sponsored

   Monitoring that respects your time & budget. APM, error tracking, and dashboards for modern web apps. Ten-minute setup, transparent flat pricing, and support from engineers who actually use the product.

   

3. constructs

   2 4 463 8.1 TypeScript

   Define composable configuration models through code

   

   All CDKs are based on Amazon's Constructs, (which also uses projen). They come with a CLI and Development Kit (API). In short, you set up an Object in code and then synthesize the representation to disk. This opens up the full power of programming languages. If you are sick of the issues with terraform, CloudFormation Templates, troposphere, Azure Blue Prints, or the like then this is for you.

4. jsii

   3 37 2,869 9.3 TypeScript

   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!

   

   This does not mean you shouldn't use JSON or YAML et al, after all, they are being called the assembly language of the web. Does anyone here want to write x86 NASM or Intel-based assembly? Then don't! Work in a higher-level language like TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, C# family, Java, or soon GoLang. I'm betting Rust is next. All of these are in reach due to projen being based on JSII.

5. cdk8s

   4 6 2,154 8.9 TypeScript

   Discontinued Define Kubernetes native apps and abstractions using object-oriented programming [Moved to: https://github.com/cdk8s-team/cdk8s] (by awslabs)

   

   I would be remiss to not point out that both the Kubernetes CDK, awslabs/cdk8s, and Terraform CDK, hashicorp/terraform-cdk both already use projen.

6. ohmyzsh

   5 633 190,061 9.5 Shell

   🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,500+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
