I don't understand whats the value added on top of normal CDK. There I can also define Aws infrastructure with Typescript and I don't have to pay a subscription.

That was my first impression too - I've been using cdktf and love it.

But this tool isn't for you and me - it's for front-end developers that don't want to fuss with devops. Seems like a great idea with that in mind.

Why do you want to use the enterprise plan and not the open-source one?

It's free, open-source, you could generate a complete infrastructure in seconds, you could manage multiple environments and sandboxes for team work.

Maybe the landing page is not very clear?

It looks like the value add is similar to gruntwork.io where they maintain a catalog of scripts (hopefully) designed with best practices in mind
