My gut feeling just told me we'll be using the new #Lambda durable functions a lot in near future — very nice release! 👏 But not perfect, where is my day one #awscdk support? 😁 docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/lates... #reInvent

Lambda durable functions extend traditional Lambda to support durable execution, enabling fault-tolerant applications that can run for up to one year.

@mistersql Horror to debug, if you are not on the Typescript version: python CDK calls TS core lib calls Cloudformation API.

The API is incomplete when you are out of the common cases, at least they were two years ago...

"Tests" are mostly comparing it against cloudformation-like syntax, so you actually have to learn that as well. Or don't test b/c they are useless. :-(

The idea (infra as real code) sounds nice, but the effect of having three layers between code and infra is horrid!

#awsCDK

First opinion of #awsCDK
- Doesn't work with moto_server
- Slow. Like 10x or 20x slower than comparable terraform
- Did I say it is slooooooooow?

Configuring CI/CD for any project can feel like a daunting task. But thanks to CDK's simplicity and robustness, your ability to tailor your CI/CD process to your business needs only stops with your imagination (or budget, whichever comes first 😆).

Here's three of the most common ways I've found people configure their process. If you love one, hate one, or have questions. Feel free to reach out!

Do you know that CloudFormation and AWS CDK can't write an entry of type SecureString to AWS SSM Parameter Store? I had no idea when I wanted to put a generated password to it as part of my Cfn Stack. I recently wrote a Blog [1] about it. Today I also published a Lambda function, written in Python [2]. Usable as CloudFormation custom resource. Works well for my use-case.
