# AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) Sample

This page demonstrates how [InfViz](https://infviz.io) can help you visualize AWS CDK script files. In this example we will use AWS CDK example (<https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples>).

### 1. Getting CDK sample files

Download the sample files from github (<https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples>)

### 2. Run setup instructions of the sample application

```
npm install -g aws-cdk
cd typescript/my-widget-service
npm install

$PSDefaultParameterValues['Out-File:Encoding'] = 'utf7'
cdk synth | out-file test.yaml
```

```
cdk synth > test.yaml
```

### 4. Upload and view in InfViz Studio
