Could you build this?
Partial A basic web dashboard triggering AWS CloudFormation or CDK scripts is vibe-codeable, but managing multi-tenant PaaS orchestration inside customer AWS accounts safely is an intricate cloud infrastructure challenge.
What it would actually take: Needs an orchestration engine managing cross-account IAM assume-role policies, automated VPC/RDS/ECS provisioning via Terraform/CDK, build pipelines using AWS CodeBuild or Nomad, and real-time log streaming via CloudWatch/WebSockets. The hard parts are zero-downtime blue/green deployments, edge domain provisioning (Route 53 + ACM TLS validation), and handling AWS API rate limits and failures across arbitrary user accounts. Requires senior cloud infrastructure and DevOps engineering.
