## ARC IaC – Infrastructure Automation at Your Fingertips

### 1. ARC ECS Microservice Blueprint – Production-Ready AWS ECS Architecture

We have open-sourced the **ARC ECS Microservice Blueprint**, a production-ready reference architecture that helps teams deploy containerized applications on **AWS ECS Fargate** quickly, securely, and at scale. Built using **7 pre-wired Terraform modules**, it includes GitHub Actions CI/CD, isolated Terraform state management, and compliance-ready configurations for enterprise workloads.

**Key Highlights**

- Production-ready AWS ECS Fargate architecture using 7 Terraform modules
- Pre-integrated VPC, ECS, ALB, ECR, Route53, ACM, and IAM
- Compliance profiles for General, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS workloads
- Isolated Terraform state for safer infrastructure deployments
- Built-in GitHub Actions CI/CD with automated deployments and state locking

## ARC API – Plug and Play to Speed Development

### 1. Cache Package – Sequelize Integration Support

We have added **Sequelize support** to the ARC [Cache Package](https://github.com/sourcefuse/loopback4-microservice-catalog/tree/master/packages/cache), enabling applications using Sequelize ORM to leverage the caching framework seamlessly. This enhancement extends cache compatibility across supported persistence layers while maintaining a consistent developer experience.

**Key Highlights**

- Added native Sequelize support in the cache package
- Enables seamless caching for Sequelize-based applications
- Consistent caching behavior across supported ORMs
- Designed for production-ready applications with minimal integration effort

### 2. JWT Logout Token Invalidation – Security Enhancement

We have addressed a security issue where **JWT access tokens remained valid even after the user logged out**, allowing authenticated requests until the token naturally expired. This fix strengthens session security by ensuring logout effectively invalidates active access tokens where applicable.

**Key Highlights**

- Prevents logged-out users from accessing protected APIs using previously issued JWTs
- Improves session invalidation during logout
- Reduces the risk of compromised or stolen tokens being reused after logout
- Enhances overall authentication and access security across supported services

## ARC IaC – Infrastructure Automation at Your Fingertips

### 1. ARC IaC MCP & Kiro Power – AI-Native Infrastructure Automation

We have launched the **ARC IaC MCP Server**, an AI-native interface for our **50+ ARC Terraform modules** that enables AI assistants such as **Claude** and **Kiro** to understand and work with our Infrastructure-as-Code library. It simplifies module discovery, code generation, and infrastructure validation through natural language.

Alongside this, we have introduced **ARC IaC Kiro Power**, enabling the **Kiro IDE** to work seamlessly with the ARC IaC MCP Server. Developers can discover Terraform modules, generate production-ready infrastructure, and validate deployments directly within the Kiro development workflow using natural language.

**Key Highlights**

- Natural language search across 50+ ARC Terraform modules
- Generate production-ready Terraform with cross-module wiring and pre-wired dependencies
- Compare modules, inputs, outputs, and resources to find the right solution
- AI-assisted Infrastructure-as-Code within the Kiro development workflow
- Works with MCP-compatible AI assistants including Claude and Kiro

- [ARC IaC Kiro Power](https://github.com/sourcefuse/arc-kiro-powers)

### 2. ARC IaC Agent Skills – AI Skills for Terraform Development

We have introduced **ARC IaC Agent Skills**, a lightweight way to bring our **50+ ARC Terraform modules** into AI coding assistants without additional setup. By simply adding a single skill file, developers can enable AI-powered Infrastructure-as-Code guidance directly within tools like **Claude Code**, **Cursor**, and **Kiro**.

**Key Highlights**

- Natural language search across 50+ ARC Terraform modules
- Generate production-ready Terraform with pre-wired dependencies
- Compare modules, inputs, outputs, and resources
- Simple setup with a single skill file—no plugins or servers to manage

### 3. ARC Serverless API Blueprint – Production-Ready AWS Reference Architecture

We have open-sourced the **ARC Serverless API Blueprint**, a production-ready reference architecture that enables teams to deploy a secure, scalable AWS serverless REST API in under an hour. Built using **9 pre-wired Terraform modules**, it includes CI/CD automation, isolated Terraform state management, and compliance-ready configurations to accelerate cloud application development.

**Key Highlights**

- Production-ready AWS serverless REST API using 9 Terraform modules
- Pre-integrated VPC, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudFront, WAF, and Route53
- Compliance profiles for General, HIPAA, and PCI workloads
- Isolated Terraform state for safer infrastructure deployments
- Built-in GitHub Actions CI/CD with state locking and self-hosted runner support
