Do NOT explicitly specify resource names when they are optional in CDK constructs.
// ✅ GOOD - Let CDK generate unique names
new lambda.Function(this, 'MyFunction', {
// No functionName specified
});
// ❌ BAD - Prevents multiple deployments
new lambda.Function(this, 'MyFunction', {
functionName: 'my-lambda',
});Use appropriate constructs for automatic bundling:
NodejsFunction from aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda-nodejsPythonFunction from @aws-cdk/aws-lambda-python-alphaBefore committing CDK code:
npm run build
npm test
npm run lint
cdk synth
./scripts/validate-stack.shAsk Claude to help with CDK:
Create a CDK stack with a Lambda function that processes S3 eventsClaude will:
Estimate costs before deployment:
Estimate the monthly cost of running 10 Lambda functions with 1M invocations eachAnalyze current spending:
Show me my AWS costs for the last 30 days broken down by serviceSet up monitoring:
Create CloudWatch alarms for my Lambda functions to alert on errors and high durationInvestigate issues:
Show me CloudWatch logs for my API Gateway errors in the last hourAudit activity:
Show me all IAM changes made in the last 7 daysAssess security:
Run a Well-Architected security assessment on my infrastructureBuild serverless applications:
Create a serverless API with Lambda and API Gateway for user managementImplement event-driven workflow:
Create an event-driven order processing system with EventBridge and Step FunctionsOrchestrate complex workflows:
Implement a saga pattern for booking flights, hotels, and car rentals with compensation logicDeploy AI agents with Bedrock AgentCore:
Deploy a REST API as an MCP tool using AgentCore GatewayManage agent memory:
Set up conversation memory for my AI agent with DynamoDB backendMonitor agent performance:
Configure observability for my AgentCore runtime with CloudWatch dashboards.
