Building a simpler AWS deploy tool
I’m a software engineer with over 12 years of experience across different languages, teams, and dozens of projects. I love what I do, and I’m drawn to solving real problems with clean tools.
I’ve been building serverless applications on AWS for years. Across multiple jobs and projects, I’ve used Serverless Framework and AWS CDK. And there was always this friction — the gap between having an idea and getting it running in the cloud felt wider than it should be.
This is the story of why I finally snapped and built my own deployment tool — one that skips CloudFormation entirely and deploys AWS resources with direct API calls.
