Welcome to Day One
summary
AWS claims startups now launch for $500,000→a few thousand instead of half a million, backs that with services like EC2 RDS S3 CloudFront Kinesis SageMaker and a pace of roughly five new features per day, plus tools such as CodeStar, serverless backends, CI/CD blue/green deployments and the Well‑Architected review. Example: a one‑person app (Uphill) moves from frequent outages to a resilient three‑tier then serverless architecture, serves millions, stays bootstrapped, and benefits from AWS Loft coaching, Activate credits and Marketplace/Launchpad routes to customers.
