How will non-tech founders develop their product on this stack? That's a stack for developers to build the product.
This is a very hard problem, when you see a fragmented ecosystem its because players in the ecosystem have wide ranging and demanding requirements.
You will have to acquire your target customer when they are ready to setup this stack but before they have done so themselves. This would require very high brand awareness. Like "Oh I was going to setup on AWS but XYZ makes it so easy". Only a few companies have achieved this type of awareness in the devops space. Heroku comes to mind. None of them are indie-hacker projects.
Thanks, Codewithcheese. To clarify, it's not for non-technical founders. It's the opposite—it's for first-hire engineers or technical founders exclusively.
You raise a good point with Heroku, but that's a "managed service," like Aptible or Vercel, which offers simpler alternatives to AWS and is used throughout the lifecycle of your app. I'm specifically providing a service for initial setup and deployment only. 'Pay-once, use-once'.
For the MVP, this is targeted at a market that wants to host on AWS, along with an array of other extremely common web-based SaaS services, such as authentication, feature flagging, and monitoring etc
