Next.js on AWS

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

$ git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
$ git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-ts-nextjs
$ cd pulumi-examples/aws-ts-nextjs

This example deploys a Next.js site on AWS using OpenNext.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure AWS credentials
3. Install Node.js

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack, which is an isolated deployment target for this example:

   pulumi stack init

2. Set the AWS region to deploy into:

   pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Deploy the stack:

   pulumi up

   Most of the infrastructure will deploy within about 30s, but the CloudFront CDN can take 4-5 minutes. After this is complete, a CloudFront URL where your application is served will be shown.

   Outputs:
       url: "https://d119mwdwutz4hu.cloudfront.net"
   
   Resources:
       + 45 created
   
   Duration: 4m14s

5. Open that URL in your browser to see your Next.js demo app.

   

6. Make changes to the Next.js app in the demoapp folder, or bring your own Next.js app and point the Pulumi component at it instead.

Cleaning up#

Once you’ve finished experimenting, tear down your stack’s resources by destroying and removing it:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
