== Key features ==
* '''Familiar programming languages''': AWS CDK supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, and C#, allowing developers to use their preferred programming languages for defining cloud infrastructure.
* '''Reusable constructs''': AWS CDK includes a library of constructs that encapsulate AWS resources, their configurations, and best practices, promoting reusability and reducing boilerplate code.
* '''Higher-level abstractions''': Developers can use constructs<ref>{{Cite web |last=Steenman |first=Danny |date=2022-05-03 |title=How to create an AWS CDK Construct |url=https://towardsthecloud.com/aws-cdk-construct |access-date=2023-09-23 |website=Towards the Cloud |language=en-US}}</ref> to create custom, higher-level abstractions, known as patterns, to simplify complex infrastructure patterns and improve maintainability.
