Forge

Forge is the product, marketing, documentation, and future member-portal client for cfn-forge, a CloudFormation deployment intelligence and lifecycle CLI.

The current site introduces the CLI through the same staged workflow the engine implements: resolve an environment, compare deployed and desired nested template trees, create an unexecuted Change Set, inspect the full impact, and release only after an explicit operator decision.

Product status

• cfn-forge is currently version 0.1.0 and requires Python 3.12+
• the CLI is distributed from its public source repository, not through PyPI or a packaged binary
• Starter source access is available now
• Operator, Team, and Enterprise plans are product previews; checkout, gated downloads, Firebase membership, and role-based access are not live yet
• drift, reconcile, refactor analysis, and teardown planning are presented as preview capabilities
• the current engine targets AWS CloudFormation; multi-cloud deployment is not a current product claim

Product surface

• /product explains Forge's position between existing CloudFormation definitions and AWS execution
• /features covers staging, nested template diffs, parameter impact, release gates, history, and preview tooling
• /workflows maps the infrastructure and pipeline stage-to-release lifecycle
• /docs documents source installation, project topology, and the current command grammar
• /download links to the public server source and provides the installation sequence
• /plans renders the reusable billing-cycle and pricing-plan component
• /api exposes the product discovery manifest
• /api/features, /api/cli, and /api/plans expose focused read-only manifests

The header uses a desktop mega menu and responsive mobile accordions generated from src/shared/config/site.ts. The root layout enables the header's sticky prop, which keeps the marquee and navigation together at the top of the viewport.

Reusable components

• src/app/components/product/code-block.tsx renders repeatable, stateful snippet tabs with copy support and optional line numbers
• src/app/components/product/pricing-table.tsx renders reusable plans with monthly and annual state
• src/app/components/product/product-page-hero.tsx provides the shared product-page signal and metrics treatment
• src/app/components/product/github-links.tsx provides the Client and Server repository actions
• src/app/components/brand/forge-icon.tsx supplies the shared marquee, navigation, page, and product icons

Content that should remain truthful to the engine lives in src/shared/config/product.ts. Navigation, landing capabilities, process copy, and marquee items live in src/shared/config/site.ts.

Stack

• Next.js 16 App Router
• React 19 and TypeScript
• Sass / SCSS
• GSAP-powered Forge loader
• next-pwa

Local development

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Clean public page routes are implemented below src/app/(main)/pages and registered in next.config.ts so they inherit the shared loader, sticky header, footer, fonts, blur layer, and theme.
