Concise Constructs

A utility for defining constructs without ever needing to think about scope. "Concise" constructs are interoperable with classical constructs. The difference is cosmetic; if concise constructs better-jive with your API-design sensibilities, great! Otherwise, classical constructs are still state of the art.

NOTE: this repo follows SemVer and there is yet to be a major release; the public API can still change.

NOTE: JSII cannot yet package concise constructs for consumption in non-TypeScript CDK projects.

Lambda Rest API
