- Deploy a smooth-operator agent two ways, from one package.
- Reusable SST v4 constructs for AWS serverless, and a Helm chart + ArgoCD for Kubernetes — the shared deploy primitives behind smooth-operator, dogfooded by smooai.

+It gives you two production-shaped paths off the same conventions:
- **AWS serverless** — `new SmoothAgentApi(...)`: an API Gateway WebSocket + (Rust) Lambda + DynamoDB single table + S3 blob bucket + S3 Vectors wiring + gateway-key secret + IAM links, as a single parameterized SST component.
- **Kubernetes / self-host** — the `smooth-operator` Helm chart: an axum `/ws` server backed by pgvector Postgres, fronted by a WebSocket-friendly Ingress, synced by ArgoCD.
Two real consumers justify the shared package: **smooth-operator** (the reference WebSocket agent service, uses both surfaces today) and the **smooai monorepo** (dogfoods the SST constructs piecemeal).

**Bring-your-own:** deploy into *your* AWS account (SST) or *your* cluster (Helm/ArgoCD). Point the gateway URL at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, bring your own pgvector Postgres or provision the S3 Vectors index yourself. You own the infra end to end.
