SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing a deployment platform for an MVP is often driven by habit or hype rather than evidence. This Skill replaces guesswork with a structured process: a short interview, parallel web research on six candidate platforms, scored comparison, and anti-bias stress tests, ending in a written infrastructure decision record. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured platform evaluation: Scores Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, Railway, and Render against five agent-friendly criteria (CLI-first ops, managed infrastructure, agent-readable docs, stable deploy API, MCP integration), filtered by your tech stack as a hard constraint. - Anti-bias cross-checks: Runs devil's advocate, pre-mortem, and unknown-unknowns analyses on the top pick before the decision is finalized, surfacing hidden costs and failure modes. - Decision record output: Writes context/foundation/infrastructure.md with the scored comparison, operational story (previews, secrets, rollback, logs), risk register, and stack-specific getting-started steps. - Use Case: After defining your PRD and tech stack, run this Skill to decide between Fly.io and Cloudflare Workers for a Next.js MVP, with fresh pricing research and a documented rationale your team can audit later. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research and recommend a deployment platform for your MVP using this skill after your tech stack is defined.

Frequently Asked Questions about 10x-infra-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a deployment platform for my MVP?

Run a structured evaluation: define your tech stack constraints, answer five questions about cost, scale, and team familiarity, then score candidate platforms against criteria like CLI-first operations and managed infrastructure. This Skill automates that process and writes a decision record.

Vercel vs Fly.io vs Cloudflare for MVP deployment?

The right choice depends on your stack and constraints. Vercel suits Next.js frontends, Fly.io supports persistent processes and containers, and Cloudflare excels at edge-first serverless. This Skill scores all three plus Netlify, Railway, and Render against your specific requirements.

Can I deploy WebSockets or background workers on serverless platforms?

Serverless-only platforms like Vercel and Netlify cannot run persistent connections or long-lived workers. If your app requires WebSockets or background processes, this Skill hard-filters those platforms out and favors container-based options like Fly.io or Railway.

Does this skill configure CI/CD or write Dockerfiles?

No. CI/CD pipeline setup, Docker image configuration, and production-scale architecture are explicitly out of scope. The Skill focuses only on researching and documenting the MVP platform decision, including getting-started commands for the chosen platform.

Why does platform research need fresh web searches instead of existing knowledge?

Platform pricing, feature availability, and beta status change frequently, so training-data impressions lead to wrong recommendations. The Skill requires live web research on current pricing pages and docs before scoring any platform.
