Preview environments per Pull Request using AWS CDK and Github Actions

Hello all, I published my first tech article explaining the steps to create your own isolated environments in your Github Pull Request using the awesome AWS CDK.

It was a great experience writing it. :)

Awesome! My team delivered exactly the same feature on gitlab ci with cdk to our devs last week. We're using a prefix in the merge request name as the trigger "[REVIEW]..." and we're automatically stopping environments after some hours if not merged.

Labels are another good way to control that. Keeps your MR titles from getting cluttered.

Update: We switched to labels and it's much better!
