Inspiration

What inspired me to make this project was I wanted to work on my open source project, which was a Terraform script that built a production-grade infrastructure on AWS to host Micro-SaaS applications. I wanted to use this project as the perfect time to test out whether or not this open source project worked properly in the real world and could I build a meaningful solution from there?

What it does

The issue that the infrastructure solves it creates a cost efficient, highly scalable, and well architected infrastructure that applications can be hosted on. It's a good starting point for any vibe-coder or, any micro-saas founder to start their projects on. So that's all.

How we built it

Over 80% of the infrastructure is built via terraform

Challenges we ran into

The biggest issues that we faced, in my opinion, was getting the infrastructure to scale without blowing the $100 credit budget. As I was trying to get the infrastructure to essentially be able to run for a whole year and not exceed a $100.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud that I actually got something to work and be worth the submission

What we learned

I learnt how to create a 3-tier architecture from scratch
