AWS Solution Architect
Designs scalable, cost-effective AWS architectures for startups using serverless patterns and infrastructure-as-code templates. It generates architecture recommendations, CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform templates, and cost optimization analyses.
✨ What it does
- Collects requirements such as app type, scale, budget, compliance, and availability.
- Recommends architecture patterns (serverless web, event-driven microservices, three-tier, GraphQL).
- Generates production-ready CloudFormation YAML and CDK TypeScript snippets.
- Provides cost analysis with monthly breakdown and optimization recommendations.
- Includes deployment commands and failure handling guidance for CloudFormation stacks.
- Offers quick start examples for MVP, scaling, cost optimization, and IaC generation.
🎯 When to use it
- When asked to design a serverless architecture for a new application or service.
- When needing to create CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform templates for AWS infrastructure.
- When optimizing AWS costs by identifying idle resources, right-sizing, or suggesting savings plans.
- When setting up CI/CD pipelines or migrating existing workloads to AWS.
- When planning an MVP or scalable architecture with budget constraints.
🚀 How to use
Trigger by asking to design an AWS architecture, generate IaC templates, or optimize costs. Provide details like application type, expected users, budget, and compliance. Example prompts:
Design a serverless MVP backend for a mobile app with 1000 users.
Generate CloudFormation for a three-tier web app with auto-scaling.
Optimize my AWS setup to reduce costs by 30%. Current spend: $3000/month.
📄 Output: Architecture design with pattern recommendation, service stack, cost estimate, and IaC templates (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) plus cost optimization report.
