Overview

CDK for Terraform (CDKTF) is a project by HashiCorp that allows you to use familiar programming languages to define and provision infrastructure. It brings the benefits of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to the Terraform ecosystem. With CDKTF, you can write your infrastructure code in languages like TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go, and it will be synthesized into Terraform JSON configuration, which can then be used with the standard Terraform workflow.

✨ Key Features

  • Use familiar programming languages
  • Leverage the full power of Terraform's ecosystem
  • Create reusable infrastructure components
  • Strongly-typed infrastructure definitions

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Built on top of Terraform
  • Access to the entire Terraform provider ecosystem
  • Familiar workflow for Terraform users

Unique Value: Combines the flexibility of programming languages with the power and ecosystem of Terraform.
