Selah CLI: Zero-Setup AWS Deployment for Bolt.new

What is Selah CLI?

The world's first AI-powered tool that takes your Bolt.new prototype and deploys it to production AWS in under 3 minutes.

Born from personal frustration trying to deploy a Bolt.new app, Selah CLI bridges the gap between creative coding and production infrastructure. No DevOps knowledge required - just build in Bolt, run Selah, ship to AWS.

Key Features

• npx install: Instantly scaffolds your project with config and AWS credential guide
• AI-powered build: Scans your codebase, generates a deployment plan via Vertex AI (MCP), and provisions AWS infra
• Tavus AI agent review: Approve deployment plans via a browser-based Tavus agent, linked from the terminal
• Real-time logs: Deployment logs streamed directly in Bolt
• Framework agnostic: Works with React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt.js, vanilla, and more
• Security, performance, and accessibility audits
• Production-ready AWS deployments: Lambda, S3, API Gateway, CDK/Terraform, and more

Quick Start

One-Command Install (Recommended)

# Install globally via npm
npm install -g selah-cli

# Use anywhere in your terminal
selah --version

3-Minute Demo

# Navigate to your Bolt.new project
cd your-bolt-project/

# Initialize Selah
selah init

# Setup AWS credentials (first time only)
selah aws-setup

# AI analysis + Tavus consultation  
selah analyze

# Deploy to AWS
selah deploy

# Note: If running on Bolt.new, use:
# selah deploy --hackathon

Code Protection

Our source code is protected using advanced obfuscation while maintaining full functionality. The NPM package contains production-ready binaries that work exactly as demonstrated.

Live Demo: See the migration from Supabase version to AWS CloudFront deployment.

How It Works

1. Project scan: Selah CLI scans your Bolt project (runtime, envs, Dockerfiles, etc.)
2. Context sent to MCP server: Project context is securely transmitted to the backend (MCP), powered by Vertex AI
3. AI plan generation: Vertex AI returns a structured AWS deployment plan
4. Tavus agent review: CLI outputs a link to a Tavus AI agent for human-in-the-loop plan review
5. AWS provisioning: Upon approval, the backend provisions AWS infrastructure
6. Log streaming: Real-time deployment logs are streamed back to the CLI in Bolt
