AWS Solution Architect

Designs startup-grade AWS architectures and produces CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform code plus cost-optimization plans.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 24,151⑂ 3,405AI score 7/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Collects requirements (app type, scale, budget, compliance, SLA) and recommends a fitting AWS pattern: serverless web, event-driven microservices, three-tier, or GraphQL backend.
  • Generates infrastructure-as-code for the chosen pattern as CloudFormation/SAM YAML, CDK TypeScript, or Terraform HCL.
  • Estimates monthly cost and lists prioritized savings actions (right-sizing, Savings Plans, S3 lifecycle tiering, NAT alternatives).
  • Walks through deployment commands plus failure triage: inspecting CREATE_FAILED events, deleting and redeploying stacks, and adding CloudWatch alarms.

Who it's for

  • Startup engineers and CTOs who need an AWS MVP shipped quickly.
  • Small teams without a dedicated DevOps hire who want a solid IaC baseline.
  • Anyone who must justify and execute AWS cost reductions.

Examples

  1. "Design a serverless MVP backend for a mobile app with 1,000 users" → Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB + Cognito, ~$20–50/month.
  2. "Generate CloudFormation for a three-tier web app with auto-scaling" → VPC with public/private subnets, HTTPS ALB, ECS Fargate, Aurora read replicas, security groups and IAM roles.
  3. "Cut my $3,000/month AWS bill by 30%" → idle resource cleanup, instance right-sizing, Savings Plans analysis, storage lifecycle policies targeting ~$900 in savings.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .gemini/skills/aws-solution-architect folder from the GitHub repo alirezarezvani/claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/aws-solution-architect/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/aws-solution-architect ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/aws-solution-architect ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Confirm that scripts/ and references/ came along inside the skill folder; if they are missing, the workflow still guides Claude but the Python helpers won't run.
  6. Prerequisites: install Python 3 and the AWS CLI, then run aws configure to set credentials.
  7. Restart Claude Code and prompt something like "Design a scalable AWS architecture for a SaaS platform with 50k users" to trigger the skill.
