The simplest way to deploy your first CDK demo:

1. Login to your AWS account.

2. Open CloudShell from the top right hand side of AWS Management (it already has cdk command line tool installed):

   

   Check if cdk tool is installed:

   $ cdk

3. Bootstrap CDK environment (you need to do that only once per account, per region):

   $ cdk bootstrap aws://*ACCOUNT-NUMBER*/*REGION*

4. Clone serverless repo:

   $ git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns/ $ cd serverless-patterns/s3-lambda-dynamodb-cdk/cdk

5. Install AWS Construct Library for our typescript demo (for different CDK apps written we will use a different package manager):

   $ npm install

6. (Optional) Generate a CloudFormation template based on our CDK code:

   $ cdk synth

7. Deploy a CDK app (with a single stack):

   $ cdk deploy

8. Destroy the CDK app.

   $ cdk destroy
