# aws-cdk vs cube

aws-cdk and cube share 4 technologies: @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner, AWS S3, @aws-sdk/credential-providers, and yaml. aws-cdk is written in TypeScript and cube in Rust.

- [aws/aws-cdk](https://seerepo.com/r/aws/aws-cdk): The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code
- [cube-js/cube](https://seerepo.com/r/cube-js/cube): 📊 Cube Core is open-source semantic layer for AI, BI and embedded analytics

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner, AWS S3, @aws-sdk/credential-providers, yaml
- Only in aws-cdk: aws-sdk, constructs, @aws-sdk/client-ec2

- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
