Hosting

This section covers frontend hosting and deployment.

Frontend deployment with server-side rendering (SSR) support. Hosting auto-detects your frontend framework (Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, or SPA) and provisions the appropriate AWS resources. Import from @aws-blocks/blocks/cdk and use in your CDK layer file (aws-blocks/index.cdk.ts).

Locally, your frontend is served by the development server at http://localhost:3000 with hot reload. On AWS, Hosting provisions a CloudFront distribution with S3 origin, Lambda compute for SSR, optional WAF, monitoring dashboards, and DNS records. Supports custom domains and skew protection for zero-downtime deployments.

Hosting is used in the CDK layer, not in the IFC layer. It is included automatically when you run npm run deploy. For sandbox deployments (npm run sandbox), hosting is not deployed because sandboxes focus on backend hot-swapping.

For more information, see hosting on GitHub.
