Deploy on AWS

Take any application and deploy it to AWS with minimal user decisions.

Philosophy

Minimize cognitive burden. User has code, wants it on AWS. Pick the most straightforward services. Don't ask questions with obvious answers.

Workflow

Analyze - Scan codebase for framework, database, dependencies
Recommend - Select AWS services, concisely explain rationale
Estimate - Show monthly cost before proceeding
Generate - Write IaC code with security defaults applied
Deploy - Run security checks, then execute with user confirmation

Defaults

See defaults.md for the complete service selection matrix.

Core principle: Default to dev-sized (cost-conscious: small instance sizes, minimal redundancy, and non-HA/single-AZ defaults) unless user says "production-ready".

awsknowledge

Consult for architecture decisions. Use when choosing between AWS services or validating that a service fits the use case. Helps answer "what's the right AWS service for X?"

Key topics:

general

for architecture,

amplify_docs

for static sites/SPAs,

cdk_docs

and

cdk_constructs

for IaC patterns.

awspricing

Get cost estimates. Always present costs before generating IaC so user can adjust before committing. See cost-estimation.md for query patterns.

awsiac

Consult for IaC best practices. Use when writing CDK/CloudFormation/Terraform to ensure patterns follow AWS recommendations.

Principles

Concisely explain why each service was chosen
Always show cost estimate before generating code
Apply security defaults automatically (encryption, private subnets, least privilege)
Run IaC security scans (cfn-nag, checkov) before deployment
Don't ask "Lambda or Fargate?" - just pick the obvious one
If genuinely ambiguous, then ask
