System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual setup and error-prone wiring of a production-ready backend by generating and deploying the required AWS resources as a cohesive CloudFormation stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backend tier provisioning: Deploys Lambda behind API Gateway v2 with JWT authentication via Cognito.
  • Data layer setup (feature-flagged): Optionally creates a DynamoDB table (e.g., for demo feature flag use cases) with least-privilege IAM access.
  • Operational readiness: Creates CloudWatch dashboards/alarms and standardizes CORS using an AllowedOrigin parameter updated post-deploy.

Use case: Stand up the backend for a serverless web app where the frontend calls a secured HTTP API and optionally persists data in DynamoDB.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run ipa-stack-backend with your app namespace, environment, image ECR URI, Cognito issuer/audience values, and set EnablePassengersTable=true if you want the DynamoDB table.
