The first ZDK release is ready
Use standalone AWS CDK L3 constructs for repeatable serverless patterns with inspectable defaults.
The first public release of ZDK, the Zerverless Development Kit, is ready.
ZDK packages repeatable AWS serverless patterns as TypeScript AWS CDK L3 constructs. The goal is to reduce repeated infrastructure code without adding a new deployment runtime.
What the first release establishes
The initial surface focuses on composable constructs around functions, events, and production defaults. Applications can use the higher-level pattern while retaining access to the underlying CDK resources when the abstraction needs an escape hatch.
Standalone by design
ZDK does not require the zerverless control plane, a product account, or a hosted deployment service. It synthesizes through normal AWS CDK and deploys through CloudFormation in the AWS account you control.
What comes next
The next releases will be shaped by patterns that remain broadly reusable across applications. Project-specific application logic and private platform behavior do not belong in the library.
