Recently, we launched a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) construct for Amazon DynamoDB tables, known as TableV2. This construct provides a number of new features in addition to what the original construct offered, enabling CDK authors to create global tables, simplifying the configuration of global secondary indexes and auto scaling, as well as supporting AWS CloudFormation drift detection and import operations. We believe that this new construct will make it easier for organizations to build and manage their DynamoDB tables at scale, in addition to providing more flexibility and control over the configuration of tables.
AWS CDK is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. Developers can use any of the supported programming languages to define reusable cloud components known as Constructs. A construct is a reusable and programmable component that represents AWS resources. CDK translates the high-level constructs defined by you into equivalent AWS CloudFormation templates. CloudFormation provisions the resources specified in the template, streamlining the usage of Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) on AWS.
