Processes/product — standing up the product stackproduct

Set up cloud infrastructure — product processSet up cloud infrastructure

complexpartially automatable🔁 once

Configure cloud infrastructure with networking, a managed database, container hosting, and basic security. AWS (VPC, RDS, ECS) is the canonical route.

AWS has comprehensive APIs. System can provision via CloudFormation/API, but architecture decisions need human input.

Current agent ceiling

An agent can run 6 of 8 steps 5 of them behind a human approval gate ⏸

⚡ Closable with today’s market (1 — via Browser Automation for Agents): Create AWS account + billing (computer-use candidate — a browser agent can drive this deterministic web flow)

No workaround yet (1): Design infrastructure (needs a human)

How it runs

Route-coded block flow: emerald = agent, amber = manual form/portal, red = needs a human. ⏸ approval gate · ⏳ async wait.
