Welcome back, builders! This week, we took our AWS CDK skills further by deploying our own infrastructure as code. Here’s a quick recap of what we accomplished and what’s coming next.
Week 7 Highlights
🚀 Hands-on with AWS CDK:
-
Deploying a Lambda Function – We built and deployed an AWS Lambda Function using AWS CDK. The function is a Level 2 (L2) Construct that simply returns
"Hello, World!"with a 200 status code when invoked. - CloudFormation Outputs – We created a CFN Output which is a Level 1 (L1) Construct to store the function URL, making it easy to retrieve post-deployment.
- Inspecting the Stack – We explored CloudFormation the AWS Console to inspect the Stack and see the events, resources, outputs created by our deployment.

What’s Next: Week 8 Preview
Next week, we’ll start a new AWS CDK project, stepping up from a simple Lambda function to a more complex infrastructure deployment. Expect:
- Translating an AWS architecture into AWS CDK
- More hands-on experience managing resources via infrastructure as code
- Deeper insights into structuring and organizing CDK applications
💡 Pro Tip: If you haven’t already, revisit last week’s content on CDK stacks and constructs (docs here and here).
Stay tuned – we’re moving on to bigger things next week! 🚀
