1# Deploy on AWS
2 
3Take any application and deploy it to AWS with minimal user decisions.

5## Philosophy
6 
7**Minimize cognitive burden.** User has code, wants it on AWS. Pick the most
8straightforward services. Don't ask questions with obvious answers.
9 
10## Workflow
11 
121. **Analyze** - Scan codebase for framework, database, dependencies
132. **Recommend** - Select AWS services, concisely explain rationale
143. **Estimate** - Show monthly cost before proceeding
154. **Generate** - Write IaC code with [security defaults](references/security.md) applied
165. **Deploy** - Run security checks, then execute with user confirmation
17 
18## Defaults
19 
20See [defaults.md](references/defaults.md) for the complete service selection matrix.
21 
22Core principle: Default to **dev-sized** (cost-conscious: small instance sizes, minimal redundancy, and non-HA/single-AZ defaults) unless user says "production-ready".

28Consult for architecture decisions. Use when choosing between AWS services
29or validating that a service fits the use case. Helps answer "what's the
30right AWS service for X?"
31 
32Key topics: `general` for architecture, `amplify_docs` for static sites/SPAs,
33`cdk_docs` and `cdk_constructs` for IaC patterns.

37Get cost estimates. **Always present costs before generating IaC** so user
38can adjust before committing. See [cost-estimation.md](references/cost-estimation.md)
39for query patterns.
