Typescript beyond the stack

The modern technology stack traditionally consists of the Frontend, Backend and a Database. But we need a way to get our code from our computer to their server. The AWS Cloud Developer Kit (CDK) is a tool that allows us to write and deploy our infrastructure in languages used to write the rest of the stack, including Typescript. By leveraging the CDK we’re able to write our infrastructure, backend and frontend all in Typescript and even deploy it to Amazon’s serverless compute platform. In this session Ryan will look at the basic concepts behind the CDK, what is happening when you use it and how it allows us to quickly and easily get a full stack Typescript application up and running in a language we are familiar with. We’ll look at how using the CDK allows us to fully embrace a DevOps culture and provide a friction free way to get our code into production using a language we are already familiar with.
