Details for anyone stumbling upon this : https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-hosting/issues/3398

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.

Are you dead set on building a Nuxt + Vue application? Partial to NextJS like I am? Well good news everyone, WordPress has done a pretty decent job over the past couple of years building out the WordPress API and enabling developers to leverage WordPress as a Headless CMS. Pair that with the amazing WPGraphQL Pluginand you’re cooking with JavaScript. You get all the benefits of really solid backend CMS that end users are familiar with, and can grasp with a 1 hour CMS training, distributed using your favorite flavor of JavaScript.

It's very easy to use when you use https://www.wpgraphql.com/ Here's an example of a repeatable component I set up using the repeater filled. It might help you.

I am using Headless Wordpress with https://www.wpgraphql.com/ for API hosted on SiteGround and Nextjs for frontend.

I think you might be looking for WPGraphQL

- WPGraphQL

Look at other popular plugins to see what they do, and how that's different from what you did. For example browse a bit through https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql

As you can see I'm getting all the posts from my Wordpress GraphQL endpoint and receiving the title, excerpt, slug and date fields, there's more I can get if I follow the GraphQL API for Wordpress documentation, but that's all I need for the demo.

How does this compare to WPGraphQL https://www.wpgraphql.com that's been around for quite some time (https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql)

Did you find shortcomings with that plugin?

You can use wordpress as a backend and then hook up your frontend through a graphql api plugin.
