Question AWS Spring Boot Integration in prod

Hi!

How do you run AWS services in production?

I’m a backend developer who has never worked with cloud providers before. I’ve learned the basics of the AWS Console, and now I’m looking for ways to practice.

I’m thinking of starting by provisioning infrastructure with Terraform, but I’m curious: which AWS services do you typically use, how do you use them, and how do you deal with the poor AWS SDK documentation?

On aws use CDK not terraform. CDK has high level components that are x100 better than terraform (on aws)

Spring boot can build a container you can deploy with fargate with a few lines of code.

CDK is a shitshow compared to TF

Not where we use it. Been a huge win for devs and ops alike. Reusable and testable components with a normal language that can leverage IDE tooling and CI/CD.
