If you tried learning AWS CDK, you might have realized that three levels of CDK construct types exist when defining an AWS resource: L1, L2, and L3 (also called ‘CDK patterns’). So, deciding which CDK construct level to choose may become confusing. Sometimes, a resource’s different construct classes are even named similarly. Then, are there any advantages you get by choosing one over another?

You aren’t alone if you feel the same. This was also what I felt while learning AWS CDK. So, in this post, I will discuss AWS CDK construct levels to help you understand their differences.

I thoroughly cover them with hands-on examples in my AWS CDK with Python Step by Step course. Still, this post will be a nice addition as a summary of these crucial AWS CDK concepts.
