Learn how to enhance developer experience by building custom CDK constructs that integrate AWS services with external providers through AWS Custom Resources. Discover how Zolar's platform team created a CDK library that gives development teams autonomy over their infrastructure resources while maintaining consistency across the organization. Explore the implementation of custom constructs for services like Auth0 Authentication, Kafka, and database resources that extend CloudFormation functionality beyond native AWS services. Gain insights from Jette Bakemeier and Phyllis Noester as they share their hands-on experiences building and refining these constructs, including what approaches worked effectively, which strategies failed, and key lessons learned throughout the development process. Understand how to leverage AWS Custom Resources to provide developers with greater flexibility in tool selection while ensuring standardized infrastructure patterns across your platform engineering initiatives.
