SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires boto3, botocore, playwright, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automates deploying applications to AWS by provisioning infrastructure (ECR repos, IAM roles, App Runner services, and optional RDS) and handling build, push, and deployment flows, delivering live URLs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detects Dockerfiles across the repository, provisions necessary AWS resources, builds and pushes container images, deploys services, and prints live endpoints.
Supports App Runner with optional Postgres (RDS) backend for quick full-stack deployments.
Use Case: Spin up a complete deployment for a template project that uses Docker-based services and needs a ready-to-use URL for APIs and UI.

Quick Start

Provision the AWS infra with the provision script, then deploy services using the deploy script and monitor until the live URLs are returned.
