aws-solution-architect
Use when designing or costing an AWS architecture (serverless, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, ECS, Aurora, CloudFormation, migration to AWS). Designs it with architecture_designer.py, generates stacks with serverless_stack.py and finds savings with cost_optimizer.py.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for generating CloudFormation templates and architecture designs that streamline AWS deployments.

What this skill does
AWS Solution Architect Design scalable, cost-effective AWS architectures for startups with infrastructure-as-code templates. --- Workflow Step 1: Gather Requirements Collect application specifications: Step 2: Design Architecture Run the architecture designer to get pattern recommendations: Example output: Select from recommended patterns: Serverless Web: S3 + CloudFront + API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB Event-Driven Microservices: EventBridge + Lambda + SQS + Step Functions Three-Tier: ALB + ECS Fargate + Aurora + ElastiCache GraphQL Backend: AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB + Cognito See references/architecturepatterns.md for detailed pattern specifications. Validation checkpoint: Confirm the recommended pattern matches the team's operational maturity and compliance requirements before proceeding to Step 3. Step 3: Generate IaC Templates Create infrastructure-as-code for the selected pattern: Example CloudFormation YAML output (core serverless resources): Full templates including API Gateway, Cognito, IAM roles, and CloudWatch logging are generated by serverlessstack.py and also available in references/architecturepatterns.md. Example CDK TypeScript snippet (three-tier pattern): Step 4: Review Costs Analyze estimated costs and optimization opportunities: Example output: Output includes: Monthly cost breakdown by service Right-sizing recommendations Savings Plans opportunities Potential monthly savings Step 5: Deploy Deploy the generated infrastructure: Step 6: Validate and Handle Failures Verify deployment and set up monitoring: If stack creation fails: 1. Check the failure reason: 2. Review CloudWatch Logs for Lambda or ECS errors. 3. Fix the template or resource configuration. 4. …
