## The CloudMart Project
You will build **CloudMart** - a complete e-commerce platform that grows from a simple startup to an enterprise-scale operation. Each chapter adds new capabilities.
> **Try not to skip labs** - The story connects all labs together, and each builds on the previous ones.
## Cost-Conscious Learning
We prioritize **free tier usage** in all labs:
- Most labs are completely free
- Paid labs use minimal resources (typically $1-5)
- Clear cost warnings and cleanup instructions
**⚠️ Cost Note**: AWS pricing changes frequently. Check each lab for current estimates, and please contribute updates if you notice changes.
