Cloud infrastructure with AWS Cloud Development Kit

I’m a developer and I know how to write code, that does what I need (well most of the time…) however I have never wrote code that creates/configures cloud infrastructure (servers and stuff…) and this workshop is exactly about that.

Goal
The format of this talk is a workshop where engineers develop a cloud infrastructure, necessary to make a web application public, with AWS CDK. The end goal is to learn how to spin up, deploy code and tear down cloud resources required for app with few console commands. I think it’s also possible to do the introduction as a talk - in this case I’ll be the only one deploying the code :)
