Why your CDK deploys might be slow - tags propagate to children
I noticed quite some time ago that my CDK deployments had gotten slow, and that a lot of the churn was SQS. I did not really have time to dig into it, and I half-convinced myself it was just a feeling - that it had not actually slowed down. Eventually it nagged at me enough that I sat down with an LLM agent to investigate. The culprit turned out to be a one-liner buried in a construct I use everywhere.
