SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective AWS infrastructure requires deep expertise across dozens of services, and mistakes lead to overspending, security gaps, or architectures that cannot scale with growth. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architecture Pattern Design: Provides proven patterns for serverless web apps, event-driven microservices, three-tier applications, real-time data processing, GraphQL backends, and multi-region deployments. - Infrastructure as Code Generation: Produces CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform templates ready for deployment. - Cost & Security Optimization: Delivers cost estimates, right-sizing recommendations, and security hardening checklists aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework. - Use Case: A startup founder needs a backend for a mobile app expecting 100k users. The skill recommends a Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB + Cognito stack with a monthly cost estimate and a phased scaling roadmap. ## Quick Start Design a serverless API backend for a mobile app with 100k users using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB with a cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions about aws_architect

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a serverless architecture on AWS?▼

Combine API Gateway with Lambda for compute, DynamoDB or Aurora Serverless for data, Cognito for authentication, and S3 with CloudFront for frontend hosting. This pattern provides auto-scaling and pay-per-use pricing, typically costing $50-500 per month for small to medium traffic.

Should I use Lambda or Fargate for my application?▼

Use Lambda for event-driven, short-duration tasks under 15 minutes with variable traffic. Choose Fargate for containerized applications, long-running processes, or predictable traffic patterns where cold start latency is unacceptable.

How can I reduce AWS costs for a startup?▼

Enable Cost Explorer and billing alerts immediately, right-size instances based on actual usage, apply S3 lifecycle policies to move data to IA or Glacier tiers, use Savings Plans for predictable workloads, and set CloudWatch log retention periods to 7-30 days.

What are the limitations of AWS Lambda?▼

Lambda has a 15-minute execution limit, 10GB maximum memory, and cold start latency on infrequent invocations. For longer workflows, use Step Functions to orchestrate multiple Lambda invocations or migrate to Fargate.

How do I make an AWS architecture HIPAA compliant?▼

Use only BAA-eligible AWS services, enable encryption at rest with KMS and in transit with TLS, implement audit logging through CloudTrail, and deploy resources in VPCs with private subnets and least-privilege IAM policies.
