Now that we know a lot about shipping cloud resources with CDK it's time to start creating a serverless backend for our todo application.

We could add the database and new lambda functions to our main stack but after a while it might get difficult to maintain.

Instead, in this lesson we're going learn how to create our very own custom CDK construct

For CDK version 2, the custom construct can look like this:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';

export class TodoBackend extends Construct {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id);
  }
}
