aws cdk l1 vs l2 constructs documentation

Question

I understand the difference between L1, L2 and L3 constructs, but am having trouble matching the contructs for a given service with the documentation. The reason I am attempting to do this is so that I can find a consistent method of comparing different constructs. I can do this with some services but not others.

I know that some services do not yet have higher level constructs, but I am speaking mainly of the ones that do.

Any ideas how I can easily reference side-by-side comparison of L1 vs L2 constructs in a consistent way?

Answer 1

If you go to the AWS CDK API Reference you can see the full list of constructs for each service. If a construct is prefixed with Cfn like CfnDeliveryStream for firehose, then it is an L1 construct which maps directly to Cloudformation. Every other construct under the individual resource will be an L2 construct.
