It uses familiar programming constructs (classes, functions, variables) to define cloud resources, then synthesizes them into standard Terraform configuration files that you apply with the Terraform CLI. The library depends on constructs, jsii, publication, and typeguard to bridge Python code to Terraform's underlying model.\n\nHowever, CDKTF is no longer maintained. HashiCorp archived the project on December 10, 2025, stating it did not achieve product-market fit. The codebase remains available on GitHub as read-only, but will receive no updates, security patches, or compatibility fixes. You can continue using it at your own risk, and the project provides a migration command (`cdktf synth --hcl`) to convert existing projects to standard HCL for long-term support.","worth_installing":"No. CDKTF is abandoned and archived as of December 10, 2025 with no further maintenance, updates, or compatibility fixes. If you have an existing CDKTF project, use the built-in migration command to convert to HCL and standard Terraform. For new infrastructure projects, choose an actively maintained tool such as standard Terraform with HCL or an alternative CDK ecosystem aligned with your cloud provider."},"id":"cdktf","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cdktf","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cdktf.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cdktf/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"cdktf","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Cloud Development Kit for Terraform"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":449297,"position":6596,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.21.0"}
