- Terraform CDK (CDKTF) will be sunset and archived on December 10, 2025.
- HashiCorp, an IBM Company, will no longer maintain or develop CDKTF after this date.
- CDKTF did not achieve product-market fit, leading HashiCorp to focus on Terraform core and its ecosystem.
- After December 10, 2025, CDKTF will be archived on GitHub in a read-only state with no further updates.
- Users can continue using CDKTF at their own risk under the Mozilla Public License (MPL).
- Community forks are encouraged for those interested in continuing development independently.
- The command `cdktf synth --hcl` can generate Terraform-compatible .tf files for migration.
- Users are advised to migrate to standard Terraform HCL or AWS CDK for long-term support.
- CDKTF supports TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go for defining cloud infrastructure.
- Documentation and resources are available for learning, testing, and contributing to CDKTF.
