SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Stacktape automates the end-to-end deployment of full-stack applications to AWS, reducing boilerplate and enabling teams to ship faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end deployment of apps, APIs, SaaS, and static sites to AWS with minimal configuration.
  • ConnectTo-based resource injection (databases, auth, storage, queues) and support for hosting options (serverless, containers, Next.js, static sites).
  • Use case example: a SaaS with a product API, multi-tenant database, and authenticated users, all deployed from a single stack configuration.

Quick Start

Install Stacktape and run with a stacktape.yml/yml/ts to provision and deploy your app. Example: npx stacktape deploy --stage prod --region us-east-1.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a full-stack app to AWS without writing infrastructure-as-code?

You can deploy a full-stack app to AWS by defining a stacktape.yml or stacktape.ts configuration file and running npx stacktape deploy. This automates provisioning databases, auth, storage, and serverless functions from a single configuration.

Can I deploy a Next.js app and a relational database to AWS using infrastructure-as-code?

Yes, Stacktape supports hosting Next.js apps alongside relational databases, caches, and queues. You define these resources in your stacktape configuration file to provision and connect them automatically during deployment.

What is the best way to automate SaaS backend deployment to AWS?

Automating SaaS backend deployment to AWS is done by using a configuration-driven tool like Stacktape to define APIs, multi-tenant databases, and authenticated users. It provisions and deploys the entire stack end-to-end with minimal boilerplate.

Does Stacktape work with serverless functions and background processing on AWS?

Yes, Stacktape supports deploying serverless functions and configuring background processing. You can define these compute resources in your stacktape.yml file alongside queues and databases to provision them automatically on AWS.

Do I need to manually configure AWS services to host static sites and APIs?

No, you do not need to manually configure AWS services. Stacktape uses a connectTo-based resource injection mechanism to automatically provision and connect hosting for static sites, APIs, and databases based on your stacktape configuration.

Can I use TypeScript instead of YAML for my AWS deployment configuration?

Yes, you can use TypeScript instead of YAML. Stacktape supports configuration files written in stacktape.ts, allowing you to define your AWS infrastructure and resource connections using TypeScript syntax.
