Ask HN: What are your go-to tools/books/blogs for cloud?

6 points by blue0bird ↗ HN
I'm looking for some practical, reusable cloud solutions. I'm a backend developer; however, sometimes, I have to create a new service using AWS services. Terraform is good in general.

My main problem is I sometimes miss a small detail which causes a production issue. It happened 2-3 times in the past few years.

Is there any good tool or practical book/blog to help me? I found a couple of Terraform generator solutions, but those are basic. Most blog posts I've checked describe the high-level concepts and don't go into details.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

It’s worth looking into CDK (Cloudformation Development Kit) documentation and related blogs.
Thanks for suggestion, played with CDK a little while back, much better than others.

What I'm looking for is some sort of advanced, battle testes designs or patterns. for example found iam role permission boundary.
