But first, what is a Construct?

An AWS Construct is like a ready-to-use Lego block for building cloud applications. It comes pre-designed with all the necessary parts and functionalities, allowing developers to assemble AWS services quickly and effortlessly. Just like Lego blocks simplify the process of creating complex structures, AWS Constructs streamline the deployment of cloud resources, making development faster and more efficient, requiring only minimal user configuration.
