Architect is an open-source framework and CLI for building Functional Web Apps (FWAs) on AWS serverless infrastructure using concise declarative configuration. It provides a local sandbox dev server, scaffolding, and one-command deployment of HTTP functions, websockets, queues, scheduled tasks, and DynamoDB tables.

Use cases

• build a serverless web app on aws lambda
• deploy a fullstack app to aws with infrastructure as code
• run a local offline dev server that mimics aws services
• define dynamodb tables and api gateway routes declaratively
• scaffold a new serverless project quickly
• add queues, events, and scheduled tasks to a web app
• deploy staging and production environments from the cli

When to choose

• you want to build database-backed web apps on AWS serverless without hand-writing CloudFormation
• you value a fast local development sandbox that mirrors production
• you want terse declarative infra config with sensible defaults
• you need HTTP, websockets, queues, events, and scheduled functions in one framework

When to avoid

• you are not deploying to AWS
• you need full control over raw CloudFormation or Terraform for complex infrastructure
• you prefer containers or traditional long-running servers over Lambda
• you are locked into a non-AWS cloud provider
