About CDKTF
CDKTF lets you define Terraform infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, or C# instead of HCL. Write infrastructure in languages you know, with IDE support, testing, and abstraction capabilities.
Existing Terraform providers work unchanged. The CDK generates valid Terraform JSON. Constructs package reusable patterns.
Teams who find HCL limiting or prefer their application languages for infrastructure code choose CDKTF for programming language benefits in Terraform workflows.
