🚀 Get Up and Running in 5 Minutes

You can get a new Serverless UI site deployed to you AWS account in just a few steps:

  1. AWS Prerequisites

In order to deploy to AWS, you'll have to configure your machine with local credentials. You'll find the best instructions here.

  1. Install the AWS CDK.
   npm install -g aws-cdk
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Install the Serverless UI Command-Line Interface
   npm install -g @serverlessui/cli
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Bootstrap your AWS Environment

Next, specify your account and region to bootstrap the CDK environment for quicker subsequent deployments

   cdk bootstrap aws://ACCOUNT-NUMBER-1/REGION-1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Deploy your static website

Finally, tell the Serverless UI where to find your website's static files

   sui deploy --dir="./dist"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That's It!

Enjoy your serverless application, deployed on your own infrastructure.
