AWS CDK Best practices

  1. Put storage (dynamo, rds, s3, etc) in its own nested stack, seperate from other resources, and reference them externally. This allows us to delete all other resources types without affecting existing storage.
  2. When possible, do not pass in whole resources from one stack to another. This is fine for nested stacks within the same parent stack, but in the 'main' context it creates tight coupling between stacks and can make them more brittle to change.
