## Example Usage

### Input

We're a 10-person startup using GitHub, deploying manually to AWS with SSH and scripts. Want to automate everything and deploy multiple times per day. Team has limited DevOps experience. We're budget-conscious but need reliability. Primary pain points: slow deployments, configuration drift, no visibility into production issues.

### Output

**Current State Assessment**

Identified gaps:

- Manual SSH deployments: ~30 minutes per deploy, error-prone
- Configuration drift: Production differs from what's in Git
- No centralized logging: Debugging requires SSH access
- No deployment visibility: Team unaware when deploys complete

Quick wins (Week 1-2):

1. GitHub Actions for automated testing on PRs
2. Centralized logging with CloudWatch Logs
3. Basic health check monitoring with CloudWatch Alarms

**Development Workflow**

Git branching strategy: GitHub Flow (simple, effective for small teams)
