55. How do you build an MVP on AWS?

Sometimes people talk about an MVP and then say "yeah but we deploy manually" or "we don't have tests yet". Is that really an MVP or is it something else? And what it takes to build a successful MVP when using AWS? In this episode, we discuss the differences between a prototype, a proof of concept, and an MVP. Then we debate about what's the minimum amount of work you need to put in place to have an MVP on AWS. We debate on whether our weshare.click is an MVP or just a prototype and why. Finally, we provide a list of previous episodes that can help to acquire the foundational AWS knowledge that is needed to be able to build an MVP successfully.

In this episode, we mentioned the following resources:

- The book "The lean startup" by Eric Ries: http://theleanstartup.com/book
- The weshare.click repository: https://github.com/awsbites/weshare.click
- The YouTube playlist of all our weshare.click live streams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfRElTYilyY&list=PLAWXFhe0N1vI1_z-06EzJ22pz95_gBrId
- The YouTube playlist of AWS foundational knowledge videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6KAb1RQh9E&list=PLAWXFhe0N1vIGgrMh8gyU4q4KPGaIqpIA&index=1
