Totally agree! The underlying code for this module could be written much faster and simpler with AWS CDK. But this module is about as easy as AWS CDK would be with a similar amount of code.

AWS CDK is great but the biggest problem with AWS CDK is that it is proprietary and AWS only. CDKtf and Pulumi are potential solutions for a vendor neutral solution - but my personal opinion of what makes AWS CDK so great are the ultra rich level 2 and level 3 constructs, and whether or not Pulumi or CDKtf would have those remains to be seen!
