Gatsby builds on AWS

Posted on:March 27, 2020 at 04:22 PM

Deploying a Gatsby site to AWS amplify is so ridiculously simple it would be a crime not to include it. This can literally take under two minutes to configure. The first build may take a couple more.

Step one - Connect your git provider

Step 1

I can’t think of any important options lacking. I tried out GitHub initially, but I will try out CodeCommit in the near future. You will have to authenticate at this point, if you are already logged in, it only takes a second.

Step two - Pick your repo / branch

Pick your repo

I have used master here to keep it simple.

Step three - Build script

Step 3

This step is magic. Worked for me first time. I didn’t write anything. It just detected and appeared. Sure other platforms can do this, but this feels like the perfect mix of ease of use and customizability.

Step four - Deploy

Hit the button and that’s it!
