How to Test the CDK?

[adrian-goe]

Hey, I am the owner of an nx cdk adrian-goe/nx-aws-cdk-v2 integration and would like to test it in my CI.

I was thinking about using localstack, but I can't because I can't specify an endpoint url for the cdk like I can with the aws cli. I also don't want to use the cdk-local package from localstack, because I really want to test the integration of the cdk. Then the only thing left is to deploy against aws, which is somehow not the right thing to do if I want to do it automatically in the CI process.

So what would be your suggestion for developing a good integration test?
