Most people will read . I haven't run Transform myself — this is a read from the announcement and docs, not a hands-on review. I'd genuinely like to hear from anyone who has.
Superwerker: opinionated defaults, shipped
Superwerker is a free, MIT-licensed CloudFormation stack. You run it, and it stands up a multi-account baseline — Control Tower, SSO, and sensible guardrails — without a discovery workshop. We used it on a recent greenfield build and had SSO and baseline guardrails live in an afternoon. The entire decision tree is a public repo you can read end to end before you commit to anything.
I'm generally a fan of opinionated tooling. If there is a sensible default, I'd rather spend engineering time building product than debating OU structures.
If I were founding again tomorrow with a blank AWS org, I'd run Superwerker before I spent a day on account design. Greenfield teams don't fail because their landing zone wasn't migration-aware. They fail because they never got a baseline and spent months refactoring after the event.
Transform: a different problem
Transform's agent is a different shape of tool entirely. It's not a standalone landing zone builder — it's embedded in AWS Transform's end-to-end migration workflow. Transform gathers information about your organisation, migration waves, compliance requirements and account structure before proposing a landing zone.
That's a fundamentally different problem from "deploy me a sensible default."
Where Forge sits
Forge deliberately stops at the landing zone boundary. That's infrastructure governance, and every organisation has different requirements. Once that foundation exists — whether it came from Superwerker, AWS Transform or something else — that's where Forge starts.
A working rule of thumb
Greenfield startup? Use Superwerker.
Enterprise migration? Look seriously at AWS Transform.
Brownfield AWS estate? Use judgement. Every organisation carries different history and constraints.
I haven't used Transform yet, so I'd genuinely like to hear from teams that have. I'm much more interested in where this rule breaks down than where it holds.
