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
1. **Analyze** - Scan codebase for framework, database, dependencies 2. **Recommend** - Select AWS services, concisely explain rationale 3. **Estimate** - Show monthly cost before proceeding 4. **Generate** - Write IaC code with [security defaults](references/security.md) applied 5. **Deploy** - Run security checks, then execute with user confirmation
Defaults
See [defaults.md](references/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".
MCP Servers
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](references/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](references/security.md) 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
- **Never recommend AWS App Runner** — it is in maintenance mode. Use ECS Express Mode instead.
- When user explicitly requests a managed application platform or signals low infrastructure involvement, route to Elastic Beanstalk
