2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
67
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
68
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
|
70
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
|
71
|
+
Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
74
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
75
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
76
|
+
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
|
77
|
+
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
78
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
79
|
+
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
80
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
81
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
82
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
87
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
90
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
91
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
92
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
95
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
98
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
101
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
102
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
103
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
104
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
107
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
108
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
109
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
110
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
111
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
115
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
116
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
117
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
118
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
119
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
120
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
121
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
124
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
125
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
126
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
127
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
132
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
160
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
168
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
169
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
170
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
171
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
173
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
174
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

<h3>The fastest way to deploy AWS CDK.</h3>

- **Drop-in CDK compatible**: your existing CDK app code runs as-is; just replace `cdk deploy` with `cdkd deploy`.
|
|
28
|
+
- **Up to 15x faster deploys**: direct SDK calls, aggressive parallelization, and `--no-wait` to skip slow stabilization waits; **faster than Terraform and CloudFormation Express mode** too (see [Benchmark](#benchmark)).
|

|

|
|

|
+

|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
**cdkd complements the AWS CDK CLI rather than replacing it.** Use cdkd in dev/test for rapid iteration; use the AWS CDK CLI in production for full CloudFormation tooling. Install cdkd alongside an existing `cdk deploy` workflow: no migration needed. You can also [import](https://cdkd.dev/import/) existing stacks into cdkd or [export](https://cdkd.dev/export/) back to CloudFormation anytime.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
**A natural fit for AI-driven development.** AI coding agents iterate in tight spin-up / tear-down loops — and cdkd keeps each turn short, with fast deploys and an equally fast `cdkd destroy` that deletes via direct SDK calls instead of polling a CloudFormation stack-delete.
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
**Local execution from your deployed stack.** `cdkd local` runs your functions, APIs, and ECS tasks on your machine. It can resolve env vars, secrets, and resource references from your real deployed stack: no hand-written `.env` files, no hand-seeded test data (see [Local execution](https://cdkd.dev/local-emulation/)).

## Installation
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
```bash
|
|
44
|
+
npm i -g @cdkd/cli # latest release
|
|
45
|
+
npm i -g @cdkd/cli@<version> # pin to a specific version
|
|
46
|
+
```
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
The installed binary is `cdkd`. It requires Node.js 22.12 or later.
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
cdkd was formerly published as `@go-to-k/cdkd`; that package is deprecated
|
|
51
|
+
and receives no further releases. Both packages install the same
|
|
52
|
+
`cdkd` binary, so remove the old one before installing the new one:
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
```bash
|
|
55
|
+
npm rm -g @go-to-k/cdkd && npm i -g @cdkd/cli
|
|
56
|
+
```
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
> **First-time setup**: run `cdkd bootstrap` once per AWS account before any
|
|
61
|
+
> other command; it replaces `cdk bootstrap`, which cdkd does not require
|
|
62
|
+
> (details in [Getting Started](https://cdkd.dev/getting-started/)).
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
```bash
|
|
65
|
+
# Bootstrap (creates S3 state bucket + asset storage — one-time setup per AWS account)
|
|
66
|
+
cdkd bootstrap
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
# List stacks in the CDK app
|
|
69
|
+
cdkd list
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
# Deploy your CDK app
|
|
72
|
+
cdkd deploy
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
# Deploy at maximum speed: skip slow stabilization waits
|
|
75
|
+
cdkd deploy --no-wait
|
|

## Use with AI Coding Agents
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
This repository ships a [`cdkd` skill](https://github.com/go-to-k/cdkd/blob/main/plugins/cdkd-skills/skills/cdkd/SKILL.md)
|
|
87
|
+
that teaches AI coding agents to use cdkd safely ([AI agents guide](https://cdkd.dev/ai-agents/)).
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
### Claude Code
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
Install it as a plugin (one-time setup) by running these inside a Claude Code session:
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
```text
|
|
94
|
+
/plugin marketplace add go-to-k/cdkd
|
|
95
|
+
/plugin install cdkd-skills@cdkd
|
|
96
|
+
```
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
Then ask Claude to deploy a dev/test CDK stack with cdkd — the skill
|
|
99
|
+
triggers automatically — or invoke it directly with `/cdkd`.
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
### Other agents (Codex, Cursor, and more)
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
Any agent that supports the SKILL.md format can use the skill. Install it
|
|
104
|
+
with the [GitHub CLI](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-16-manage-agent-skills-with-github-cli/)
|
|
105
|
+
(v2.90+) or [`npx skills`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills):
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
```bash
|
|
108
|
+
gh skill install go-to-k/cdkd cdkd
|
|
109
|
+
# or
|
|
110
|
+
npx skills add go-to-k/cdkd --skill cdkd
|
|
111
|
+
```
|
|
112
|
+
|

## Benchmark
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
**cdkd deploys up to 15x faster than AWS CDK (CloudFormation)** on SDK-Provider-handled stacks; the per-stack speedup widens with size and parallelism.

### vs CloudFormation Express mode: up to 9x faster
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
CloudFormation's [Express mode](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/06/aws-cloudformation-cdk/) is a fast-deploy option that skips resource stabilization waits, similar in spirit to cdkd's `--no-wait`. Even so, cdkd is faster than Express on nearly every stack, and with `--no-wait` it pulls dramatically ahead on stacks dominated by async resources.
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
| Stack | Normal (CFn) | Express | cdkd | cdkd `--no-wait` |

### vs Terraform: cdkd deploys faster
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
We also raced cdkd against Terraform: the same logical stacks expressed both as CDK apps and as Terraform HCL, deployed against real AWS. **cdkd is clearly faster in four of six scenarios — 1.23x to 2.31x, with fully separated run distributions — and statistically tied in the rest.**
