Summary

The Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (CDKTF) 0.13 has improved performance across all supported languages, reducing synthesis time by up to 96.8% compared to the previous version. This improvement was achieved through the introduction of namespaces in every class in provider bindings, which were previously flat lists of constructs. The change requires users to update their import paths for provider-related classes and is a breaking change that will be fully supported in CDKTF 0.14. Users can upgrade to 0.13 without changing their code if they are using the backwards-compatible provider bindings, but will need to update their code when migrating to CDKTF 0.14. The next release of CDKTF, 0.14, will focus on quality-of-life improvements for pre-built providers and making it easier to use them in projects.
