the first real step toward building the infrastructure that runs everything.
A white-labeled AWS management platform with a clean UI where our team can provision and manage AWS services without ever touching the AWS console
| Layer | Technology | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Next.js + Tailwind CSS | Fast, modern, server-side rendering for dashboard performance |
| Backend API | Node.js + Express | Easy AWS SDK integration, handles async well |
| Database | PostgreSQL | Store metadata (enabled services, user permissions, resource mappings) |
| Authentication | NextAuth.js or Auth0 | Handles our user auth, separate from AWS credentials |
| AWS SDK | aws-sdk (Node) | Talk to all AWS services programmatically |
| Secrets Management | AWS Secrets Manager | Store AWS credentials securely server-side |
| Hosting - Frontend | Vercel or AWS Amplify | Fast deploys, global CDN |
| Hosting - Backend | AWS ECS or EKS | Containerized API, scales easily |
| Caching | Redis | Cache AWS responses, reduce API calls and costs |
| Monitoring | CloudWatch + Sentry | Track errors, API usage, performance |
