After some diging found someone saying that i should edit `Rewrites and redirects` ( https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-hosting/issues/1416 )

Head to AWS Amplify Hosting and click on the Host your web app button. You’ll be redirected to this page.

Just looked up the feature request and looks like they still don’t support it https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-hosting/issues/56

As of today, Amplify doesn't support Next.JS@12 fully and because of that, it'd be better and safer to downgrade to version 11 (of course we'd miss some of the awesome features from v12 but that's fine). So I'm making it "next": "11.1.4" in the package.json. Since we're downgrading it to v11, we need to downgrade usage of webpack from 5 to 4 and for doing that we need to add webpack5: false to our next.config.js file. I also add SVG support to that file for the future and it looks like this:

After trying to deploy my company website on it, however, I'd recommend against using Amplify. It has issues with deploying & building as well as with server response times.

The Bearcam Companion application was pretty much ready to go after my last post on Lambdas. The final step (at least for a minimum viable product) was to publish the site. Not surprisingly, I chose to use AWS Amplify Hosting.

There are several open source solutions if you're interested... you can do a headless frontend with Vercel Commerce (Next.js) and use any of the supported e-commerce backends to manage catalog/cart/orders/etc: https://github.com/vercel/commerce

You need to use Medusa or Saleor as the backend (they are open source headless ecommerce backends). There already exists an amazing boilerplate and fully functional app for both of these: https://github.com/vercel/commerce

Hey everyone, I stumbled upon an intriguing website recently, built using Shopify, the platform notorious for its sluggish performance. However, to my surprise, this particular site managed to achieve a perfect 100 score thanks to NextJs. I know this community is well-versed in website performance, so I thought I'd share it with you all. To be honest, I've been pondering the significance of speed when it comes to the success of online stores. Can a few milliseconds really make or break a business? We often hear the phrase "Milliseconds Make Millions," and I wonder if it holds true in reality. What are your thoughts on this? In today's digital landscape, it seems like everyone is using Shopify, making it the go-to platform for setting up an online store. But is being the fastest fish in the pond the key to outperforming the competition? Does speed truly matter when it comes to customer experience and ultimately achieving financial success? I'm genuinely curious to hear your insights and experiences regarding the impact of website speed on online businesses. Do you believe that optimizing every millisecond can lead to substantial gains, or is it more of a minor factor in the grand scheme of things? Let's have an open discussion about the role of speed in the success of Shopify sites and how it aligns with our experiences and beliefs. I invite you to share your thoughts and contribute to this conversation. No sales pitches or hidden agendas, just an honest exploration of the topic. Looking forward to hearing your perspectives!

Next.js has an official e-commerce template here: https://github.com/vercel/commerce

This is great, especially as Next.js commerce has decided to go shopify only - https://github.com/vercel/commerce/pull/966 - making a full open-source solution impossible.

Vercel also have an example for it. https://github.com/vercel/commerce/tree/main/packages/swell
