Description

Utility library for writing AWS CDK code in Typescript or NodeJS that provides several benefits: 1. Built-in guidelines/best practices to maintaining clear structure to your AWS Cloudformation resources in usage and naming convention. 2. Cleanup your CDK stack by reducing lines of code needed to add or import select resource types.

Most utility functions force adherence to naming convetion of type: projectName-component identifier-stack environment such as MyProject-Lambda-API-DEV

This enforcement starts from requiring projectName prefix and stackEnv suffix for most components, but it also extends for some to more advanced requirements.

I found these naming conventions to greatly improve the navigation and comprehension of the resource available, as we all know, a consistent naming convention reduces the mental load and speeds up our comprehension and processing of what resources are deployed and how they interconnect.
