🛠️ 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.
