I started with using Amplify, but find myself using the CDK more often because I feel like I get more control with it.

But the CDK already generates a load of YAML, so I'm not 100% sure if I understand what it creates, should be the same with Amplify, right? 🙃

Sure. CDK is more "general purpose" in my view, so I think your take on control I share with you. But down the road all is YAML, so these tools are all about developer experience and abstractions. Thanks for your insight.
