Check our local AWS connection before we talk about architecture. Use the AWS CLI with the founder-project profile. Run aws sts get-caller-identity and report the account and ARN. Confirm AWS_PROFILE and the Region in use, without showing any credential values.
Compare them with what I expect: account ending in [last 4 digits], user founder-deploy, Region [us-east-1]. Stop if anything differs, the login has expired, the identity is root, or you can't run the CLI here. Don't create resources, edit IAM, read secret values or change project files.
Report: project folder, profile, account, identity, Region, then PASS or the exact problem to fix.
who it's for.
who it isn't.
this is for you if
- You'd rather approve what Claude drafts than type AWS commands yourself.
- You have an app, new or already running (even on Supabase or Vercel), and want it live on AWS.
- You want a backup you've actually restored, not just made.
- You want a cost in dollars before anything gets created.
skip it if
- You want an agent that deploys on its own. Here Claude asks first, every time.
- A free plan already covers your app for good. Keep it.
- You already have a DevOps team and a big AWS bill.

questions.
Anything else? ahmed@nexarlabs.co.uk
Which Claude plan do I need?
Claude Code signs in with a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or a Console account. It can also sign in through Amazon Bedrock, so AWS bills the tokens and your credits can pay them. Page 17 compares the two logins.
Is the starter kit ready for production?
It's a starting point. I wrote it from the official docs. Read it, replace the placeholders and test it with fake data before your real data depends on it.
Do I need to know AWS already?
No. You don't need to know all 200 services. You need to know what you're approving. In vol. 2, Claude drafts every command and file, and you read and approve each step, from your first login to a live app.
Do I have to leave Supabase and Vercel?
No. They're good tools, but their free plans aren't built to run a business: Vercel Hobby is for non-commercial use only, and Supabase Free pauses after about a week of low activity, with no backups. If you do move, vol. 2 moves one piece at a time: compute first, then data, then login. Your API on AWS can keep talking to your Supabase database.
What do I get after I pay?
An instant download of the PDFs you bought, plus the starter kit with vol. 2 or the bundle. The same links come by email. Updates are free when AWS or NVIDIA change their screens. If it's not for you, email me within 14 days for a refund.
Are you sponsored by AWS, NVIDIA or Anthropic?
No. These are independent guides. AWS, NVIDIA and Anthropic don't sponsor or endorse them, and their names belong to them. My company, Nexar Labs, is a member of NVIDIA Inception, the program vol. 1 walks you through.
