Deep dive on CDK: Tradeoffs when developing constructs & libraries

Last week I gave a talk at the AWS Community Day DACH 2023 in Munich. During the presentation I showed the Code live on screen, but I have added the shown examples to the slides as there is no recording of the talk.

When developing CDK constructs or libraries there is often several ways to achieve similar outcomes. This talk will dive deep on some of these decisions, compare the options and with that give the audience information to pick the best option for themselfes.

Examples for these options are eg project setup (projen or not), structuring constructs and their properties or how to hook into CDK for custom checks.

The slides are below and the example code is at GitHub.
