Random question.. how many times are you hitting an issue where what you want to do is not available in CDK?

Maybe we're not doing anything too sophisticated but never, so far

I thought I’m not trying to do anything too sophisticated either, that’s why I’m asking. 😬

I guess as a third party integration, that's probably expected. Haven't had to do anything like that myself

The only thing so far that I’ve run up against is when you have an orphaned resource - stack removed but the resource is retained - and getting that resource to be owned by another stack. Can only do that by faffing with the CloudFormation templates and using the AWS Console.

@Brinsley you are right, this is a disaster from Amazon’s side.

We’ve had some headaches with testing step functions locally, though since Amazon’s announcement about SFs having “first class support” now I’ve not looked in to it much. Though, honestly, I couldn’t see any major changes from what they had in place beforehand.

Yeah I’ve been watching the SAM-CDK beta from a distance. It currently only supports local development of lambdas and apis but hopefully they will expand into more APIs
