mlabouardy/aws-pipeline

This project is a legacy reference implementation (over 7 years old) that demonstrates how to stitch together AWS developer tools. With only 39 stars and zero current velocity, it serves more as a historical tutorial than a living tool. The defensibility is near zero because it relies entirely on standard AWS patterns that have since been superseded by superior, first-party abstractions like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), AWS SAM, and the Serverless Framework. Frontier risk is high because AWS (the platform provider) has integrated these capabilities directly into their management console and CLI tools, making external templates for basic pipeline setup obsolete. The high fork-to-star ratio (54 forks to 39 stars) confirms its use as a one-time template or learning resource rather than an ongoing dependency or platform. It faces total displacement by modern IaC tools that offer better state management and abstraction levels.
