hi guys, since I am happy seed user for my backend, I want to also use it for my frontend. Context: single page VueJs app I want it ci/cd -ed on AWS S3. Anyone attempted something similar? Are there docs in place about this? Or this is a bad idea?

Are you using seed with SST or serverless-framework? Either way this is fairly normal - personally do full deployment of everything through seed

serverless - at least for now

I have no experience with serverless-framework so will let jay or frank chime in when they have a second

thanks thdxr

I'm in two minds about this. We currently use Netlify for our frontends, it's literally as simple as pointing it at the Github repo and it builds and is made available on a CDN automatically. If a custom domain is needed, it's a case of adding a TXT record to the DNS. I like the idea of having it in S3 with Cloudfront and it all being deployed together but given how straightforward this is to achieve using Netlify, I've never quite made a strong enough case to move

yes, we are aware of Netlify, however we want to reduce the number of external vendors (dependencies) and all the implications for that: added complexity, split pricing…etc. That’s why we always consider first the external partners we are already working and we happy with (that’s why we want to extend Seed to frontend projects). Then ask if they also can to X or Y, and if they do, the’ll we’ll go with them instead of adding a new one which may offer a better solution. But is this solution radically superior? if yes, then we may consider it.

^ plug for SST - we have a construct in there that makes deploying static sites super easy (s3, cloudfront, cache invalidation, etc)

is separated

Yes, we already used Netlify so there has to be a business case for doing the work to move it to AWS and I've not quite made that stack up against everything else that needs to be done!

thank you for your help thdxr and Ross

Yeah, if you end up taking the SST approach, it’s really takes 4 steps: 1. create an SST app

npx create-serverless-stack@latest my-frontend-app

2. move your Vue.js app into this app and put it in ie.

src

3. open up

lib/MyStack.js

, remove the Api stuff in there and put this 6 lines of code in https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/StaticSite#creating-a-vuejs-site 4. Run

npm run deploy

@Frank just one more: how about a Flutter (dart) project ? can I do the same ?

Yup that works!
