There are plenty of articles out there comparing major Infrastructure as Code frameworks when it comes to building and deploying an AWS serverless stack. A serverless newcomer can easily be overwhelmed by the wide variety of solutions available: Serverless Framework, AWS CDK, Pulumi, Terraform, SST, Architect... Rather than pitting those solutions against each other, this article focus on leveraging two of them, Serverless Framework and AWS CDK, for what they are best at and making them work together seamlessly.

Since v1.72.0, the Serverless framework accepts serverless.ts as a valid service file in addition to the more commonly-known serverless.yml, serverless.json and serverless.js file formats. Using serverless.js or serverless.ts service definition is a requirement to implement this solution. Both those formats allow programmatic execution using Node.js in order to build the output service definition. In addition, you benefit from TypeScript definitions exported by @serverless/typescript package to help you build your Serverless Framework service definition properly.
