SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Planning a production AWS deployment requires coordinating architecture design, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, IAM security, cost estimation, and monitoring, which is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architecture and IaC Generation: Produces complete CDK or CloudFormation code for serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB), containerized (ECS Fargate, RDS), and static site (S3, CloudFront) patterns. - CI/CD and Security Configuration: Creates GitHub Actions workflows with OIDC authentication, environment promotion gates, and least-privilege IAM roles. - Cost and Compliance Guidance: Delivers cost estimation tables, CloudWatch monitoring configurations, and compliance mapping for HIPAA, SOC2, and PCI-DSS. - Use Case: Ask to deploy a Node.js REST API to AWS and receive a full CDK stack, multi-environment GitHub Actions pipeline, IAM roles, and cost estimates in one markdown document. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to deploy your application to AWS, for example by saying deploy my Node.js REST API to AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.

Frequently Asked Questions about aws-deployment-strategy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Node.js API to AWS with Lambda and API Gateway?▼

Describe your application type, tech stack, and preferred IaC tool, and the skill generates a complete CDK stack with API Gateway, Lambda functions, and DynamoDB tables. It also includes a GitHub Actions workflow with environment promotion and least-privilege IAM roles.

Should I use AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform, or SAM for infrastructure?▼

The skill supports all four options and asks which you prefer before generating code. CDK with TypeScript is the default format since it provides reusable constructs and TypeDoc-documented code examples.

Can I deploy to AWS from GitHub Actions without access keys?▼

Yes, the generated GitHub Actions workflows use OIDC authentication instead of long-lived AWS credentials. This eliminates stored access keys and follows the security best practices built into every deployment strategy.

Does the skill support ECS Fargate deployments with a database?▼

Yes, containerized services are a supported pattern. It generates ECS Fargate configuration with an ALB, auto-scaling, blue-green deployments, and RDS PostgreSQL with Multi-AZ for production environments.

What are the limitations of a generated AWS deployment strategy?▼

The output is a starting point with working code examples, not a deployed system. You still need to review IAM scoping, adjust cost estimates to actual usage, and validate compliance configurations against your organization's requirements.
