aws-serverless
AWS's routing skill for serverless work.
What the skill teaches
AWS's routing skill for serverless work. When a component's compute or orchestration is still undecided, it picks a Lambda form factor (Event Functions, Web Functions or MicroVMs), a capacity provider such as on-demand or Managed Instances, and an orchestration choice like Step Functions or Durable Functions, then hands off to the specialised skill for that choice. It sets rules for asking at most a few questions and stating one recommendation per component. References cover API Gateway, event sources, concurrency, deployment, production readiness and troubleshooting, and a Powertools handler template is included. The AWS MCP Server is suggested but optional.
Capabilities
- Choose a Lambda form factor and capacity provider per component
- Decide between Step Functions and Durable Functions
- Route to specialised serverless skills
