AWS is helping Superblocks run inside customers' private clouds.
Why it matters: The move shows enterprise AI app building shifting closer to customer-controlled infrastructure. It could shape how companies handle internal app development, security, and data boundaries.
- TechCrunch reported on August 3, 2026 that AWS and Superblocks struck a multiyear joint marketing agreement.
- Superblocks says its Cloud-Prem setup runs as a dedicated, single-tenant instance inside the customer's AWS account.
- The company says application data, AI prompts, and AI responses stay inside the customer's AWS environment, with inference via Amazon Bedrock.
- AWS Marketplace lists Superblocks as 'Deployed on AWS' and shows a 12-month contract at $149,999 plus usage charges.
AWS is helping Superblocks move vibe-coding closer to enterprise control. According to TechCrunch, the companies struck a multiyear joint marketing agreement that lets Superblocks run inside AWS customers' private clouds, with data and model interactions staying inside the customer's AWS environment.
Superblocks' Cloud-Prem documentation says the product is deployed as a dedicated, single-tenant instance inside the customer's AWS account, with applications connecting to a data plane in an AWS region colocated with private data. The company says the model keeps application data, AI prompts, and AI responses within the customer's AWS environment.
TechCrunch said the setup keeps apps from sending data externally to model providers or databases, and that the apps will spin up Amazon Aurora databases inside the customer's private cloud rather than use external databases such as Supabase. Superblocks says it uses Amazon Bedrock for inference.
Amazon's Marketplace listing describes Superblocks as a governed enterprise vibe-coding platform for business teams, with IT visibility and control. The listing shows a 4.7-star rating from 191 reviews and a 12-month contract price of $149,999 plus additional usage charges.
Superblocks' documentation says the Cloud-Prem model is aimed at customers in financial services, insurance, healthcare, telecom, and government. CEO Brad Menezes said, "We're going to bring it to your data inside your private cloud." He added, "It's their AWS account and basically secure with all of the auditing, all of the encryption, all of the network controls."
Superblocks said in May 2025 that it had raised $60 million total, including a fresh $23 million round. Business Wire said that round was backed by Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital, Greenoaks, Meritech Capital, and tech leaders including Box CEO Aaron Levie and Workday founder Aneel Bhusri.
An AWS spokesperson said, "We support partners where we see strong customer demand and alignment with how customers want to build."
