Gatsby Developers Can Deploy to AWS Amplify in 4 Steps
AWS Amplify provides developers with great tools for back-end solutions and robust libraries for front-end development, so it's no wonder that Amplify is gaining more attention from development communities.
Amplify is a full-stack service from AWS that provides rich tools for developers to save time deploying the common features we use on all projects such as authenticating users or storing and accessing data. It's also a great way to dip your toes in the serverless paradigm that everyone is talking about, by instantly deploying lambda functions, user pools, graphQL APIs to DynamoDB and more.
For more on what AWS Amplify can do for your project, visit the docs.
I'm still well within my first year of the free-tier of AWS, so I thought I'd connect my Gatsby site for hosting.
Without further ado, here it is. It's basically just like Netlify: connect a repository for it to 'listen' to.
- Go to Amplify in the AWS console.
- Click Deploy.
- Choose your Gatsby repository.
- Accept the default settings and deploy.
They make it so easy.
