AWS Foundry deployments are ideal for:
Production-scale development - More resources than local deployments
Team collaboration - Shared deployment accessible to multiple developers
Large-scale backtesting - Parallel backtests across big datasets
Cloud-based paper trading - Always-on paper trading environment
These commands create Distributed Self-managed deployments, where:
You provision infrastructure in your own AWS account
You manage and pay for all AWS resources
Datafye provides the software and orchestration
For live trading, you'll need a Datafye Managed deployment provisioned by Datafye Ops. Contact Datafye to request managed deployment.
