    RFCs for the AWS CDK

  • Using terraform this can be simple using terraform import. But in AWS CDK there's no easy way to import these resources to a managed state. There is an open issue here (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk-rfcs/issues/52) and an article here (https://medium.com/@visya/how-to-import-existing-aws-resources-into-cdk-stack-f1cea491e9#:~:text=For%20this%20part%20you%20will,our%20case%20only%20the%20bucket) but I really don't if it's the "Offical Way ®"

  • 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!

  • We are not actively working on Ruby support, so Python or TypeScript might be good alternatives for a Ruby shop. Feel free to "+1" Ruby support here: https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/144Generally, language support can be requested through the "language-request" issues on the aws/jsii GitHub project. Ruby is tracked but we are not able to provide an ETA for it's availability at this point in time.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • aws-cdk

    The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code

  • CDK should work just fine in GovCloud. You may be running into some services or features not being available there (yet), or CloudFormation support not being available, but otherwise everything should work the same it does in other regions.If you run into any issues, please let us know on the bug tracker: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues
