Using the CDK\u2019s library of\ninfrastructure constructs, you can easily encapsulate AWS best practices in your\ninfrastructure definition and share it without worrying about boilerplate logic.\n\nThe CDK is available in the following languages:\n\n* JavaScript, TypeScript ([Node.js \u003e= 20.x](https://nodejs.org/en/download))\n  * We recommend using a version in [Active LTS](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases)\n* Python ([Python \u2265 3",

  "why_use_this": "Use CDK when you want to define cloud infrastructure programmatically with full language expressiveness instead of YAML/JSON templates. It abstracts CloudFormation\u0027s verbosity, supports multi-language bindings, and integrates naturally into your build pipeline. Much more powerful than raw CloudFormation or Terraform for AWS-native workloads."
