AWS Solution Architect for Startups

A skill that designs serverless-first AWS architectures, drafts IaC templates, and reviews cost and security.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 852⑂ 173AI score 7/10Last updated: Nov 12, 2025

What it does

  • Takes your app type, traffic, budget, availability and compliance needs and proposes a fitting AWS architecture.
  • Ships six proven patterns (serverless web app, event-driven microservices, three-tier, real-time data processing, GraphQL/AppSync backend, multi-region HA) with rough monthly cost ranges.
  • Guides generation of CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform drafts, cost-optimization checklists, security hardening rules and deployment runbooks.
  • Calls out real service limits (Lambda 15-min timeout, API Gateway 29s, DynamoDB 400KB items) and classic pitfalls such as public S3 buckets, wildcard IAM and NAT Gateway charges.

Who it's for

  • Startup engineers and CTOs shipping an MVP on AWS.
  • Backend/infra engineers moving to serverless or tasked with cutting the AWS bill.
  • Teams that need an architecture review doc or IaC draft fast.

Examples

  1. "Design a serverless API backend for a mobile app with 100k users using Lambda and DynamoDB"
  2. "Optimize my current AWS setup to reduce costs by 30%"
  3. "Generate a CloudFormation template for a three-tier web app with auto-scaling"
