AWS CloudFormation Development — Infrastructure as Code on AWS
CloudFormation and CDK engineering — stack design, drift detection, StackSets across accounts, and the IaC discipline production AWS demands.
What we build with AWS CloudFormation
- CloudFormation templates with proper parameter, condition, and output structure
- AWS CDK in TypeScript or Python for typed, composable IaC
- StackSets for multi-account, multi-region deployments
- Drift detection and remediation workflows
- Custom resources for non-native AWS integrations
- Migration paths from Terraform when AWS-native IaC fits better
Why DiveScale
Built by engineers who ship AWS CloudFormation in production
CloudFormation is the AWS-native IaC layer — and the foundation under SAM and CDK. DiveScale designs CloudFormation and CDK estates that scale across accounts: drift-detected, StackSet-deployed, and CI/CD-driven.
We default to CDK for new builds where typed, composable infrastructure matters. Raw CloudFormation when the stack is small or when synthesis-time complexity is not worth it. Both compile down to the same backend; the choice is ergonomics.
Multi-account governance is where CloudFormation shines: StackSets distribute baseline stacks across accounts driven by Organizations OUs, with drift detection and remediation built in.
AWS CloudFormation use cases we deliver
How we deliver
Our AWS CloudFormation delivery process
- 01
Estate audit
We map what is in CloudFormation vs. console-only, identify drift, and plan an IaC consolidation path.
- 02
Template / CDK design
Stack boundaries, parameter strategy, and the right balance between raw CloudFormation and CDK constructs.
- 03
CI/CD + StackSets
Pipeline-driven deploys with stage gates, StackSets for multi-account distribution, drift detection on schedule.
- 04
Operate
Drift remediation, stack maintenance, AWS service updates, and quarterly architecture reviews.

Terraform when multi-cloud is a real requirement or your team prefers HCL. CloudFormation/CDK when AWS-only and you want native StackSets, drift detection, and the close coupling to AWS releases. We work in both.
