| 117 | ## Core CDK Principles |
| 118 | |
| 119 | ### Resource Naming |
| 120 | |
| 121 | **Do NOT explicitly specify resource names** when they are optional in CDK constructs. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | ```typescript |
| 124 | // ✅ GOOD - Let CDK generate unique names |
| 125 | new lambda.Function(this, 'MyFunction', { |
| 126 | // No functionName specified |
| 127 | }); |
| 128 | |
| 129 | // ❌ BAD - Prevents multiple deployments |
| 130 | new lambda.Function(this, 'MyFunction', { |
| 131 | functionName: 'my-lambda', |
| 132 | }); |
| 133 | ``` |
| 134 | |
| 135 | ### Lambda Functions |
| 136 | |
| 137 | Use appropriate constructs for automatic bundling: |
| 138 | |
| 139 | - **TypeScript/JavaScript**: `NodejsFunction` from `aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda-nodejs` |
| 140 | - **Python**: `PythonFunction` from `@aws-cdk/aws-lambda-python-alpha` |
| 141 | |
| 142 | ### Pre-Deployment Validation |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Before committing CDK code: |
| 145 | |
| 146 | ```bash |
| 147 | npm run build |
| 148 | npm test |
| 149 | npm run lint |
| 150 | cdk synth |
| 151 | ./scripts/validate-stack.sh |
| 152 | ``` |
| 153 | |
| 154 | ## Usage Examples |
| 155 | |
| 156 | ### CDK Development |
| 157 | |
| 158 | Ask Claude to help with CDK: |
| 159 | |
| 160 | ``` |
| 161 | Create a CDK stack with a Lambda function that processes S3 events |
| 162 | ``` |
| 163 | |
| 164 | Claude will: |
| 165 | - Follow CDK best practices |
| 166 | - Use NodejsFunction for automatic bundling |
| 167 | - Avoid explicit resource naming |
| 168 | - Grant proper IAM permissions |
| 169 | - Use MCP servers for latest AWS information |
| 170 | |
| 171 | ### Cost Optimization |
| 172 | |
| 173 | Estimate costs before deployment: |
| 174 | |
| 175 | ``` |
| 176 | Estimate the monthly cost of running 10 Lambda functions with 1M invocations each |
| 177 | ``` |
| 178 | |
| 179 | Analyze current spending: |
| 180 | |
| 181 | ``` |
| 182 | Show me my AWS costs for the last 30 days broken down by service |
| 183 | ``` |
| 184 | |
| 185 | ### Monitoring and Observability |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Set up monitoring: |
| 188 | |
| 189 | ``` |
| 190 | Create CloudWatch alarms for my Lambda functions to alert on errors a |
