cdk-ci

You can validate AWS CDK infrastructure code locally by running automated checks for formatting, linting, TypeScript builds, Vitest snapshot tests, and cdk synth to catch errors before CI.

The best way to run CDK snapshot tests and CloudFormation synth during development is using an automated local workflow that executes Vitest snapshots and cdk synth sequentially with detailed failure reports.

Yes, you can run ESLint and Prettier checks on AWS CDK projects without deploying by executing local static analysis and formatting validation directly on your infrastructure code.

Local CDK validation does not replace CI pipelines but provides reliable, repeatable checks during development so teams can fix formatting, linting, and synth failures before creating pull requests.

Cdk synth can fail locally even when TypeScript builds pass because synthesis validates CloudFormation template generation, catching infrastructure logic errors that static type checks and formatting linters do not detect.

Yes, you need Vitest installed in your CDK project environment to execute the snapshot tests that verify your infrastructure expectations during local validation workflows.
