Product-led Growth
I've made a demo for Lime Boost for implementing Product-Led Growth.
Instead of long sales cycles and endless meetings teams today want something very different:
- Try it instantly
- Experience value quickly
- Decide based on outcomes, not promises
This demo shows how deploying web software to AWS can be incredibly easy, without needing to be an AWS expert. In just minutes, you can have a production-ready, scalable environment running.
With Lime Boost, users reach the “Aha-moment” fast. That’s Product-Led Growth in action:
• Empower users
• Remove friction
• Let the product prove itself

No credit card or AWS account required.

The "time-to-Aha" metric is underrated. Most PLG implementations measure onboarding completion or trial-to-paid conversion - but neither captures whether users actually experienced the core value.
What I've noticed with deployment tools specifically: the Aha-moment isn't "my app is running" - it's "I could do that myself, again, confidently." The first success is impressive; knowing you can replicate it without hand-holding is what drives adoption.
One pattern that separates good PLG from great: reducing the "what just happened?" gap. Showing users exactly what was created under the hood (the infrastructure, the configs) rather than abstracting it away entirely. Transparency builds the confidence that converts trial users into advocates.
Curious how you're balancing simplicity vs. visibility in the deployment flow - do users see the AWS resources being created, or is it more of a black-box experience?
Thank you for your comment. I have info where I explain what Lime Boost does and what are the services that it deploys.
The infra will be in users own AWS account, so everything is visible.
That's the right approach - deploying to the user's own AWS account solves the trust problem that kills a lot of infrastructure tools. When users can see exactly what's in their account, they're not just trusting your tool, they're building mental models they can apply elsewhere.
The visibility angle also helps with a common PLG objection: "what happens if this tool disappears?" If everything's in their AWS account with standard resources, the answer is "nothing catastrophic" - which is actually a selling point.
That is a very good advice. I'll add that to my website. Thank you.
Happy to help - good luck with the launch!
Thank you!
