# AWS Solution Architect
Design scalable, cost-effective AWS architectures for startups with infrastructure-as-code templates.

## Workflow
### Step 1: Gather Requirements
Collect application specifications:
```
- Application type (web app, mobile backend, data pipeline, SaaS)
- Expected users and requests per second
- Budget constraints (monthly spend limit)
- Team size and AWS experience level
- Compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Availability requirements (SLA, RPO/RTO)
```
### Step 2: Design Architecture
Run the architecture designer to get pattern recommendations:
```bash
python scripts/architecture_designer.py --input requirements.json
```
**Example output:**
```json
{
"recommended_pattern": "serverless_web",
"service_stack": ["S3", "CloudFront", "API Gateway", "Lambda", "DynamoDB", "Cognito"],
"estimated_monthly_cost_usd": 35,
"pros": ["Low ops overhead", "Pay-per-use", "Auto-scaling"],
"cons": ["Cold starts", "15-min Lambda limit", "Eventual consistency"]
}
```
Select from recommended patterns:
- **Serverless Web**: S3 + CloudFront + API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB
- **Event-Driven Microservices**: EventBridge + Lambda + SQS + Step Functions
- **Three-Tier**: ALB + ECS Fargate + Aurora + ElastiCache
- **GraphQL Backend**: AppSync + Lambda + DynamoDB + Cognito
See `references/architecture_patterns.md` for detailed pattern specifications.
**Validation checkpoint:** Confirm the recommended pattern matches the team's operational matur
