 new cloudwatch.Alarm(this, "Errors", {
  alarmName: "AlertForEDITest",
  metric: new cloudwatch.Metric({
    "metricName": "NDMEDIMetricTest",
    "namespace": "NDMItemsTest",
    "period": Duration.minutes(1),
    "unit": cloudwatch.Unit.COUNT,
    "statistic": cloudwatch.Statistic.SUM
  }),
  threshold: 1,
  comparisonOperator: cloudwatch.ComparisonOperator.LESS_THAN_THRESHOLD,
  treatMissingData: cloudwatch.TreatMissingData.NOT_BREACHING,

  1. Cloudwatch alarm can be created using Alarm CDK construct.
  2. Cloudwatch metric can be creates using Metric class.
new Alarm(this, "Errors", {
  alarmName: "MyTestAlarm",
  metric: new Metric({
    "metricName": "MyTestMetric",
    "namespace": "SampleApplicationName",
    "period": Duration.minutes(1),
    "unit": Unit.COUNT,
    "statistic": Statistic.SUM
  }),
  threshold: 0,
  comparisonOperator: ComparisonOperator.GREATER_THAN_THRESHOLD,
  treatMissingData: TreatMissingData.NOT_BREACHING,
  evaluationPeriods: 3
});

Please refer to the Cloudwatch CDK Typescript overview for more depth and understanding.

Also, here's a GitHub repository with CDK Typescript sample apps. These samples will help you with basic CDK app setup.

Edit

Cloudwatch documentation is a good place to understand the basic concepts.
