summary

Amazon rebuilds Bedrock hosting infrastructure with GenAI under Project Mantle, using Amazon Nova for assets and surfacing models like Claude Opus 4.7. A compact senior team of 11 uses AI to generate code, docs and thousands of unit tests, separates investigate then implement steps, and enforces local full-stack testing in a single repo. Result is launch in 76 days, developer commits jump from 2/week to 40/week (~20x commit rate), and overall productivity rises ~10–20x.
