aws-cdk.aws-sam
The CDK Construct Library for the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) resources
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are actively maintaining an existing AWS CDK v1 codebase. The package is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01 and receives no updates. New projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead. Existing v1 users should plan a migration to v2.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer maintained; new projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead.
- Low install friction with a stable dependency chain.
- However, this package reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer being updated; AWS CDK v1 has been superseded by v2, and users are advised to migrate rather than adopt this version.

Verify before relying

What it is and what it does
This package is part of AWS CDK v1 and provides low-level (L1) constructs for the Serverless Application Model (SAM), allowing you to define serverless AWS resources as Python code. It translates those definitions into CloudFormation templates that AWS can deploy.
Because AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01, this package is no longer maintained or updated. The description explicitly recommends migrating to AWS CDK v2 instead. If you are starting a new project, you should use v2; this package is suitable only for maintaining existing v1 codebases, not for new development.
Use it for
- Maintaining existing AWS CDK v1 projects that define serverless infrastructure in Python
- Converting CloudFormation SAM templates to CDK code using L1 constructs as a bridge
- Learning CDK fundamentals through v1 documentation before migrating to v2
- Defining serverless resources declaratively in code for existing v1 deployments
