Zerverless

AI-native serverless ecosystem for AWS.

---

What is Zerverless?

Zerverless helps teams understand, design, visualize, build, and improve serverless systems — directly inside their own AWS account. It's not a platform that runs your code for you; it's the control plane, the AI, and the tooling around your own AWS account.

Three principles drive every technical decision in this organization:

1. Customer workloads always live in the customer's own AWS account. Zerverless never runs your code — it reads, analyzes, generates, and guides.
2. Zerverless provides the control plane — visibility, analysis, generation, guidance — never the runtime itself.
3. Read-only access and deploy/write access are never the same trust level. A product that only looks at your AWS account (like Air) is architecturally distinct from one that could change it.

Zerverless is currently built and maintained by a single person. The project is organized as 13 repositories across 4 categories so that each piece stays independently understandable, even though one person touches all of them.

The 13 repositories, by category

Core — foundation, control plane, and customer-facing surfaces

Repo	What it is
.github	This repo. Public org profile + governance defaults shared across the org.
zerverless-infra	Global AWS foundation: DNS, wildcard certificate, WAF, security & observability baseline. Deploys first, before anything else.
zerverless-platform	The control plane: Cognito auth, users, organizations, entitlements, quotas, usage tracking, connected AWS accounts. Every product asks this repo whether a user is allowed to do something — no product decides that on its own.
zerverless-web	The public marketing site at zerverless.com — landing page, pricing, blog, docs.
zerverless-app	The private customer dashboard at app.zerverless.com — organization settings, billing, usage, links into the products.

Products — what a customer actually pays for and uses

Repo	What it is
zerverless-xero	AI product. Turns a prompt into a serverless architecture proposal, explanation, migration plan, and a CDK/ZDK code skeleton.
zerverless-hero	AI product. Analyzes an existing serverless system — cost, security, performance, logs — and recommends fixes.
zerverless-air	Read-only visualization of the serverless systems already running in a customer's AWS account. Never writes to it.

Open Source — public, and deliberately independent of everything private

Repo	What it is
zdk	Zerverless Development Kit. An opinionated, secure-by-default L3 construct library on top of AWS CDK. Usable by anyone, with zero relationship to Zerverless the company.
oz	Open Zerverless. A CLI for discovering, tracing, and explaining what's running in any AWS account — again, usable standalone.

Shared Libraries — private code shared across the products, so it isn't duplicated three times

Repo	What it is
zerverless-sdk	The one typed client every private app uses to talk to zerverless-platform — auth, entitlements, quotas, usage.
zerverless-engines	The shared "AWS brain": discovery, costs, logs, tracing, AI context building, architecture generation. Used by Xero, Hero, and Air so none of them reimplement it.
zerverless-ui	The shared Cloudscape component library every private dashboard/product renders through.

What this specific repo (.github) does

This repository controls two things for github.com/zerverless:

1. The public organization profile — profile/README.md is what renders on the org's GitHub landing page.
2. Org-wide governance defaults — the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and issue templates in this repo's root apply automatically to any repository in the zerverless org that doesn't define its own. This is a real GitHub feature, not just a convention.

Not responsibilities

This repo has no infrastructure, no product logic, no application code, no billing, and no deployment code. If you're looking for any of that, find the right repo in the table above.
