DEPLOY

Streamlining AWS Deployment Platform

Deploy - AWS Deployment Platform

OVERVIEW

Deploy is a two-version AWS deployment platform that transforms infrastructure-as-code into production-ready cloud stacks. The platform evolved from a Terraform-compatible solution to a native AWS SDK control-plane with advanced features like drift detection, state management, and composable modules.

VERSION 1: OpenTofu/Terraform-Compatible

Features

  • YAML to AWS Translation: Built a YAML-to-AWS translation engine that generates and deploys infrastructure stacks
  • Multi-Service Support: Deploys EC2, Lambda, Bedrock, and other AWS services
  • Retry Logic: Built-in retry mechanisms for reliable deployments
  • Validation: Comprehensive validation before deployment
  • Multi-Account Testing: Tested across multiple AWS accounts

Results

  • Setup Time: Reduced from 45 minutes to 10 minutes
  • Reproducibility: Fully reproducible environments
  • Reliability: Consistent deployment success

VERSION 2: AWS SDK Control-Plane

Enhanced Features

  • Idempotent Reconciliation: Sophisticated reconciliation loops ensure consistent state
  • S3 State Management: Centralized state storage in S3 for reliability
  • Drift Detection: Automated detection and reporting of configuration drift
  • Metrics & Tracing: Comprehensive observability for deployments
  • Composable Modules: Plugin architecture for easy extension
    • OpenAI-compatible gateway
    • OpenWebUI integration

Architecture Improvements

  • Native AWS SDK: Direct AWS API integration for better control
  • State Reconciliation: Advanced algorithms handle concurrent deployments
  • Drift Detection: Automated identification of infrastructure changes
  • Plugin System: Easy addition of new AWS services and patterns

Results

  • Deployment Time: Reduced to ~8 minutes
  • Reliability: 0 failed runs post-reconcile
  • Observability: Significantly improved metrics and tracing
  • Extensibility: Easy addition of new services and patterns
