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.

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.

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.
