This eBook is a practical guide for cloud engineers and architects who want to start smarter. It covers foundational practices that are often overlooked in the rush to deliver: modular architecture, ephemeral environments, observability, governance, and more.

Rather than retrofitting these elements later, often under pressure and at great cost and risk, this guide helps you bake them in from day one.

The goal is simple: build AWS solutions that are robust, repeatable, and in line with best practices - the “CDK Mindset”.
