This page contains links to tutorials, example projects in every supported language, explanatory videos, and other resources to help you learn to create and manage CDK for Terraform (CDKTF) applications.
Follow these hands-on tutorials:
Note: The Terraform Registry has more information about all of the providers in following examples.
Typescript Example Description Complexity aws-ecs-docker-and-static-frontend Uses a backend service in a Docker container with a static frontend running in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Walk through AWS setup and configuring the backend to run against a Postgres Database. High aws-lambda-end-to-end An end-to-end example for a serverless web application hosted on AWS. High aws-prebuilt Provisions a DynamoDB table on the prebuilt AWS provider. Low aws-multiple-stacks Uses Stacks to pass different settings into the development, staging, and production environments. Low aws-cloudfront-proxy Uses AWS Cloudfront as a SSL proxy server for any existing domain. Low azure Provisions a Virtual Network on Microsoft Azure. Low azure-app-service Uses the Azure App Service to deploy a Docker image. Low docker Starts a Docker container with an NGINX server. Low ecs-microservices-cdktf Creates a microservice architecture on AWS ECS Fargate with Datadog monitoring using the CDK for Terraform High google Creates a simple Compute Instance with the Google Cloud Platform Provider. Low google-cloudrun Defines a Google Cloud Run service with a hello world container. Low kubernetes Sets up a Kubernetes Deployment with a NGINX container. Low ucloud Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low vault Creates a Mount in Vault. Low BackendsEach CDK for Terraform project can specify a backend that defines where and how Terraform operations are performed, where Terraform state snapshots are stored, etc.
Example Description Complexity azurerm Specifies Azure Resource Manager (azurerm) as the backend. Low gcs Specifies Google Cloud Storage (gcs) as the backend. Low remote Specifies a remote backend. You can use remote backends to run operations in HCP Terraform. Low s3 Specifies Amazon S3 (s3) as the backend. Low Python Example Description Complexity aws-lambda-end-to-end An end-to-end example for a serverless web application hosted on AWS. High aws Provisions an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Low aws-eks Provisions an EKS cluster on an AWS Virtual Private Cloud. Low google-end-to-end An end-to-end example for a serverless web application hosted on the Google Cloud Provider. High azure Provisions a Virtual Network on Microsoft Azure. Low docker Starts a Docker container with an NGINX server. Low kubernetes Schedules and exposes a NGINX deployment on a Kubernetes cluster. Low ucloud Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low Java Gradle Example Description Complexity aws-gradle Provisions a DynamoDB table on the AWS provider. Low azure-gradle Provisions a Virtual Network on Microsoft Azure. Low google-gradle Creates a simple Compute Instance with the Google Cloud Platform Provider. Low gradle-shared-module Uses gradle to build and share two AWS modules. Modules are distinct configurations that you can package and reuse across projects and teams. Low kubernetes-gradle Schedules and exposes a NGINX deployment on a Kubernetes cluster. Low ucloud-gradle Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low Maven Example Description Complexity aws-lambda-end-to-end An end-to-end example for a serverless web application hosted on AWS. High aws Provisions a DynamoDB table on the AWS provider. Low azure Provisions a Virtual Network on Microsoft Azure. Low google-end-to-end An end-to-end example for a serverless web application hosted on the Google Cloud Provider. High google Creates a simple Compute Instance with the Google Cloud Platform Provider. Low kubernetes Schedules and exposes a NGINX deployment on a Kubernetes cluster. Low ucloud Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low C Sharp Example Description Complexity aws Provisions a DynamoDB table on the AWS provider. Low azure Provisions a Virtual Network on Microsoft Azure. Low google Creates a simple Compute Instance with the Google Cloud Platform Provider. Low ucloud Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low Go Example Description Complexity docker Starts a Docker container with an NGINX server. Low aws Provisions an EKS cluster on an AWS Virtual Private Cloud. High memory usage: The provider generation currently needs ~6 GB of memory, so the maximum for Node.js is currently set to 8GB. Low google cloud kubernetes engine + kubernetes Creates a simple Compute Instance with the Google Cloud Platform Provider. Low ucloud Provisions a Linux base image on UCloud. Low0.4: Go support, Asset construct, Terraform Cloud (now HCP Terraform) integration. This includes a Google Kubernetes Engine demo.

If you are interested in extending the cdktf convert command, you may also be interested in the convert deep dive. You do not need to watch this video to use the convert command successfully.
0.6: Snapshot testing
Mozilla Pocket is a widely used application for managing reading lists that is built into the Firefox browser. Like many Mozilla projects, Pocket is open source, and the CDK for Terraform codebase that Pocket uses to manage infrastructure for the recommendation API is also public and open source. Pocket's codebase provides a great example of how to lay out a CDK for Terraform project.
In order to re-use components, Pocket's codebase is separated out into a set of reusable modules. These are then used from CDK for Terraform code in the recommendation-api codebase. The recommended reading order is to:
