Serverless from scratch with CI/CD on AWS: it’s a lot easier than you think (and mostly free).
summary
Claims a FastAPI app deploys to AWS Lambda with CI/CD using Terraform and stays mostly free; actual stack is API Gateway (proxy v2) → Mangum → Lambda with code in GitHub, builds a Docker image, and pipelines run in CircleCI. Terraform modules create API, domain, routes and store state in S3, and the plan/apply workflow manages dependencies. A public repo exists with full configs but a blocking bug prevents a live end-to-end demo right now; the infrastructure is modular and intended to be reproducible.
