🛠️ Spec Driven Development Best Practices with Kiro | How to Build Like AWS | E4 Are you tired of vibe coding your way into a mess? In this episode of **How to Build Like AWS**, we dig into one of the most powerful shifts in AI-assisted development: **spec-driven development with Kiro**. The AWS PACE team joins us to break down how they build real customer prototypes — fast — and why having a spec isn't just good practice, it's a competitive advantage. We cover the difference between vibe coding and spec-driven workflows, when to use each, and how Kiro makes spec creation practical for real teams building real things. What we cover: - How PACE built prototypes before AI — and what changed - What spec-driven development actually means (and what vibe coding is) - When to use a requirements-first vs. design-first workflow - How to write a good spec in Kiro and how many you actually need - How specs reduce token consumption and keep your AI on track - Kiro's power features: steering docs, MCP, and hooks - A real customer story from PACE — lessons learned from spec-driven builds in production - Call to action: how to start building with Kiro today Who this is for: Developers, builders, and technical leads who want to move fast without breaking everything — and want to see how AWS teams actually build. 🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode of How to Build Like AWS — where we take real customer stories and talk to the developers behind them. #Kiro #AWS #GenAI #SpecDrivenDevelopment #HowToBuildLikeAWS #AITools #DeveloperExperience #CloudDevelopment #AWSLivestream
