End-to-end backend for a multi-tenant hospital management SaaS — 13 independently deployed serverless stacks covering the full clinical surface: lab orders, surgery workflows, OPD/IPD, and radiology.

• —Serverless microservices: 13 independently deployed stacks with ~594 Lambdas, per-function esbuild bundling, and a full local dev stack
• —Terraform IaC: provisioned RDS, RDS Proxy, S3, IAM, Secrets Manager, and Security Groups across dev/stage/prod with strict variable validation
• —RDS + RDS Proxy: mutual TLS enforcement, two-layer security groups (Lambdas never hit RDS directly), Secrets Manager credential rotation, 30-min idle timeout
• —Dual API Gateway setup: main gateway (admin/clinical ops) + clinical gateway (lab/surgery/radiology) with separate rate limiting (5k burst / 2k rps), CORS policies, and CloudWatch logging
• —658+ REST APIs covering the full hospital surface: 8-step lab order lifecycle, multi-phase surgery state machine, OPD queues, IPD workflows — backed by 430 Zod validation schemas
• —Cognito JWT auth at gateway layer + Casbin RBAC at app layer (runtime policy changes, no redeployment needed)
• —Multi-tenant SaaS architecture
