08/25/2021, 4:53 PMSecond question, as I understand it, SST uses a fork or cdk? I read that on one of the pages - which makes sense to me having worked with CDK previously - but I am curious, is there a place we can check the latest supported version of aws-cdk?

08/25/2021, 4:54 PMthats great

08/25/2021, 4:54 PMlet me see if I can dig up the page where I read this, it was talking about keeping the aws-cdk resoures linked to the sst supported version.

08/25/2021, 4:55 PMor maybe it’s just the cli that uses forked cdk? “SST CLI comes with a forked version of AWS CDK”
