A redesigned checkout button is meant to lift sales. A longer cache time to live (TTL) is meant to cut backend load. But until you test a change against real production traffic, decisions come down to intuition and whoever argues hardest, not evidence. With AWS AppConfig experimentation, you can make data-driven calls instead: using A/B […]

AWS environments that have grown organically over time often share a common characteristic: infrastructure provisioned through the AWS Management Console, SDKs, or CLI without corresponding Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates. This practice is commonly referred to as “ClickOps,” a term describing any infrastructure change made outside of a codified, version-controlled workflow. Whether changes happen through […]

Walk through a complete CloudFormation development cycle – authoring, validation, deployment, and troubleshooting – without leaving your AI assistant, using the AWS IaC MCP Server.

AWS CloudFormation helps you model and provision cloud infrastructure as code using JSON or YAML templates, or through tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). Whether you create stacks directly, use change sets for preview, or deploy through CI/CD pipelines and AI agents, the speed of your deployment […]

AWS CloudFormation helps you model and provision cloud infrastructure as code using JSON or YAML templates, or through tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Whether you create stacks directly, use change sets for preview, or deploy through CI/CD pipelines and AI agents, fast feedback on template errors is critical to development velocity. Previously, […]

Modern distributed systems route business transactions through dozens of microservices, message queues, and event streams. When a message fails to process or processing exceeds SLA thresholds, troubleshooting requires correlating logs from tools like Elasticsearch, metrics from Datadog, and infrastructure change events in AWS CloudTrail. Correlating these signals manually across heterogeneous backends, each with different query […]

AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code. CloudFormation templates can be written directly in JSON or YAML, or they can be generated by tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Resources are created and managed by CloudFormation as units called Stacks. Managing infrastructure across multiple AWS […]

Standardizing CDK construct properties across a large organization requires repetitive manual effort that scales poorly as teams and repositories grow. Development teams working with AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) must apply the same configuration properties across similar resources to meet security, compliance, and operational standards but manual configuration leads to drift, maintenance burden, and […]

AWS CloudFormation enables you to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code-base templates. Whether you prefer writing templates directly in JSON or YAML, or using programming languages like Python, Java, and TypeScript with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), CloudFormation and CDK provide the flexibility you need. For organizations adopting multi-account strategies, CloudFormation […]

Streamline your AWS infrastructure development with AI-powered documentation search, validation, and troubleshooting Introduction Today, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) MCP Server, a new tool that bridges the gap between AI assistants and your AWS infrastructure development workflow. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this server enables AI assistants like Kiro CLI, […]
