CDK itself relies on a good number of hacks and workarounds, some of which are not well-vetted at all in my experience. Some of the workarounds are really a symptom in my opinion of certain resources not being part of CloudFormation itself, when if they were, it feels like it’d be almost entirely a non-issue.
It’s a little odd that at this point in the game, the prospect of “make a thing that depends on another thing” is still not an entirely solved problem within AWS.
