Vibe-coding startup Superblocks announced a multi-year joint marketing agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2026, enabling its tool to be embedded within the private clouds of AWS enterprise customers.
Under the arrangement, enterprises using AWS that subscribe to Superblocks can offer vibe coding to their business users without data leaving their private cloud environment. Apps built through the tool will spin up Amazon Aurora databases within the company’s private cloud rather than external services, and will integrate with Amazon Bedrock, AWS’s AI development and inference platform. The setup means these applications automatically fall under a company’s existing IT management and security controls.
“We’re going to bring it to your data inside your private cloud,” Superblocks co-founder and CEO Brad Menezes told TechCrunch. “The big thing about that is data never leaves. … It’s their AWS account and basically secure with all of the auditing, all of the encryption, all of the network controls.” AWS will also help sell Superblocks to enterprises through its Marketplace partner program.
Superblocks has 50 employees and has raised $60 million in total funding as of its Series A, announced in May 2025, backed by Spark Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, and Greenoaks.
The deal reflects a broader shift among major cloud providers to encourage enterprises to separate their AI models from the surrounding infrastructure — and to source that infrastructure from the cloud providers themselves rather than from frontier AI labs. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has recently pushed a similar message, urging enterprise customers to use multiple AI models to reduce costs and avoid lock-in.
Enterprises appear to be moving in that direction already. Menezes noted that demand for a single model has shifted rapidly, with open models accounting for 29% of all traffic routed through Vercel’s AI gateway last month. “Having a multi-model strategy across big frontier labs … is a must-have for the CIO,” he said.
AWS does not currently have its own vibe-coding agent aimed at business users. “It’s an emerging category with real momentum, and exactly the kind of innovation we support,” an AWS spokesperson told TechCrunch.
