Exploring AWS Serverless Deployments with CDK v2: From RSS to X Posts - Part 1 of the Odyssey

Weekend projects often come and go, but on the rare occasion, one does stand out that is truly worth documenting.

In this multi-part blog series I invite you to join me on a journey into the realm of AWS serverless architecture deployments with CDK v2.

Together, we’ll embark on a fascinating exploration - from harvesting RSS feeds to crafting X Posts.

Throughout this series, we’ll explore how to set up a serverless solution that automatically gathers information from an RSS feed, extracts the important details from XML and saves them efficiently in a DynamoDB table.

Plus, we’ll see how new entries in our DynamoDB table invokes a Lambda function to create X Posts using DynamoDB Streams.
