ive had it write some good cdk, but only as a one off project. havent tried any maintenance, but the deployment of infrastructure should also go through CI/CD, so the only thing i could destroy is a local playground

i did have to fight it to build the right thing - it wanted to spend something like $100/month but what i had in mind should have been <1, and i eventually got it there.

something i found handy prompt wise was to keep asking claude to predict the monthly cost after builds
