Every new project used to start from scratch. It doesn't anymore. This session walks through the composable building blocks our team has designed to turn new projects from multi-month efforts into multi-day ones — without sacrificing the things that make software real: security, reliability, and automated CI/CD from day one.
We'll cover three blocks in order. First, the foundation: a repeatable serverless AWS architecture that runs at $10–20 per year per solution, is secure by default, and can be dropped into a new project in minutes instead of weeks. Second, the reasoning behind it: the ADRs that shaped the architecture, including the real constraints and pain points that forced our hand, and why the design we landed on is the one that survives contact with production. Third, the accelerator on top: our Claude tools and standards plugin, which encodes our conventions and lets us rapidly develop solutions on top of the foundation without drifting into inconsistency.
Then we'll show it working. A live demo walks through spinning up a new project from the blocks — from empty repo to deployed, production-grade application with full CI/CD pipelines in place — compressing what used to take months into days, with genuine production code rather than a throwaway prototype at the end of it.
