CDK Serverless Delivery

Use AWS CDK in TypeScript to define a serverless API (Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB), bootstrap your account, then run synth, deploy, and diff to evolve the stack safely.

CDK Serverless Delivery - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

In this lab you'll build a serverless application end-to-end with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) in TypeScript. You'll bootstrap your account for CDK, scaffold a TypeScript app, define Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB constructs, then walk through the core delivery loop: `cdk synth`, `cdk deploy`, modify, `cdk diff`, and redeploy.

You will:

  • Bootstrap your AWS account for CDK and scaffold a TypeScript app with `cdk init`
  • Author Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB constructs in TypeScript
  • Run `cdk synth` and inspect the generated CloudFormation template in `cdk.out/`
  • Deploy the stack with `cdk deploy`, hit the API, and read the DynamoDB record
  • Modify the stack (new env var, new response field) and use `cdk diff` to preview the change before redeploying
