The Amazon CDK is a breath of fresh air and I love working with it, coming from a CloudFormation background. For myself, I can just `cdk synth` and take a peek at the output to conclude "yes, that's what I would have written and the TypeScript saved me hours of reading CF documentation".

However, for others on my team coming in without the CF background, it feels a little like voodoo and as soon as they tread off the "standard path" I find myself getting pulled in to do the "hard stuff".
