Codex can take an idea to working code remarkably quickly. The natural next question is simple: how do I give this to everyone else?
Traditionally, that is where you start learning hosting, databases, domains, environments, secrets, networking, logs and backups. None of those make the application more useful.
You could learn them all. Or you could give the application to monolayer Autopilot, which understands what the software needs and handles the work required to run it on AWS.
Codex and monolayer have different jobs. Codex helps you make the software. monolayer runs it, so you can keep working on what the application should do.
