Hey, Adam from MeetButter (the OP) here!
It took us 3 weeks in total from inception, prototyping, to setting up a full project like you said (linting, CI CD, AWS containers, database).
To be more accurate, the breakdown is more like this:
• 5 days of discussing, investigating the problem, and design thinking. We took our sweet time here :p
• 2 days of creating a prototype (in the article I mentioned a weekend, using Firebase and React)
• 5 days of reiterating prototype and design within a closed group of testers (family and friends)
• 5 days of MVP design (landing page, branding, etc) and proper project and infra set up (migrating to AWS, database, CI CD, staging and production environments, etc).

So that's about 3 weeks (minus two weekends).
Hope that made sense!
