Today, /monolayer/ officially launches with a clear mission: eliminate the slowdown that teams experience when shipping full-stack React applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Modern developers build features at remarkable speed, yet AWS deployment remains slow, fragile, and operationally expensive. The company’s new platform removes that barrier through application-defined infrastructure, in which application code automatically drives AWS provisioning, orchestration, and deployment.
With /monolayer/, developers write product code while the platform assembles Postgres databases, DynamoDB tables, SQS queues, S3 object storage, Lambda functions, ECS tasks, and CloudFront distributions, directly inside the customer’s AWS account. The developer experience becomes a simple sequence: build locally, push code, ship to AWS. DevOps overhead disappears.
Early users already report large gains. Development weeks feel lighter. Deployment cycles increase sharply. Recovery from errors becomes faster. Infrastructure setup time collapses. Teams regain creative momentum and ship updates without wrestling with YAML, pipelines, AWS permissions, or mismatched environments.
Co-founder Dani Behrendt explains the need bluntly. “Teams move fast when they build, yet the infra slows them down the moment they want to ship. /monolayer/ restores the balance.” Co-founder Marc Essindi adds, “We want developers to focus on product code and not infrastructure code. AWS retains its power. /monolayer/ removes the friction.”
The company enters a fast-growing market. React adoption expands globally. Full-stack teams continue to rely on AWS for their workloads. Builders want speed without losing control of their cloud. /monolayer/ delivers a combination of AWS-native execution with zero config.
The platform is now open to startups, scale-ups, agencies, studios, and engineering teams ready to ship with the same speed they build.
