goldstack VS amplify-hosting

Infrastructure Complexity: Serverless computing emerged as a simplified approach to application development, but the infrastructure it requires can be unexpectedly complex. Tasks like setting up an API gateway with Lambdas can result in extensive configuration, increasing brittleness and the learning curve for developers.

I completed the upgrade and released this in version 0.5.0 of Goldstack.

If you have any question or comments, please reach out or raise an issue 🤗.

Thus, I started the process of developing a server-side rendering friendly template a few months ago. I released this template a while ago and have since also completed the implementation of the new version of my blog. This post contains my experiences and learnings from this process.

For any suggestions, ideas and comments, please be welcome to head to GitHub and create an issue 🤗.

See a full source code example here: lambdaCompression.ts

The above template and boilerplate are regularly updated and automatically tested (project install & standing up infrastructure). If you nonetheless encounter any problems, please raise an issue on GitHub.

Consider helping out making this template better for others by raising an issue in GitHub if you encounter any problems or have questions or ideas.

The above assumes that there is a local .aws/config and/or .aws/credentials file present. Note that the AWS credentials in awsUser can be initialised in many different ways, see the file awsUserUtils.ts for reference or the AWS documentation on Setting SDK Credentials in Node.js.

If you have any comments or ideas for this template, please head over to the Goldstack GitHub project and raise an issue.

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.
