About AWS Serverless kit (best practices)
Scale to Zero AWS is a paid starter kit for building serverless applications on AWS, bundling frontend, backend, and infrastructure code. It provides pre-configured separate development and production AWS accounts, GitHub CI/CD deployment pipelines, CloudFront caching, SEO setup, and infrastructure that deploys via a single command.
The kit includes built-in authentication and authorization through AWS Cognito (with support for Google and other login providers), payment integration with Stripe and Lemon Squeezy, and email marketing through AWS Pinpoint and SES with automatic mailing list signup. Backend logic runs on AWS Lambda and API Gateway, and supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, allowing developers to choose their preferred stack for frontend, backend, landing, authentication, and dashboard components separately.
It targets developers building serverless products on AWS who want to avoid manually configuring infrastructure from scratch, offering documentation, deployment guides, and a Discord community for support. Pricing is one-time (referenced in a testimonial as $100), though exact current pricing is not stated on the page.
