Create project directory #
Create an empty directory on your system:
mkdir cdk-workshop && cd cdk-workshop
cdk init #
We will use cdk init
to create a new Go CDK project:
cdk init sample-app --language go
Output should look like this (you can safely ignore warnings about initialization of a git repository, this probably means you don’t have git installed, which is fine for this workshop):
Applying project template sample-app for go
# Welcome to your CDK Go project!
This is a blank project for Go development with CDK.
The `cdk.json` file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.
## Useful commands
* `cdk deploy` deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
* `cdk diff` compare deployed stack with current state
* `cdk synth` emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
* `go test` run unit tests
Initializing a new git repository...
✅ All done!
As you can see, it shows us a bunch of useful commands to get us started.
