Remix
Reference doc for the `sst.aws.Remix` component.
The Remix
component lets you deploy a Remix app to AWS.
Minimal example
Deploy a Remix app that’s in the project root.
Change the path
Deploys the Remix app in the my-remix-app/
directory.
Add a custom domain
Set a custom domain for your Remix app.
Redirect www to apex domain
Redirect www.my-app.com
to my-app.com
.
Link resources
Link resources to your Remix app. This will grant permissions to the resources and allow you to access it in your app.
You can use the SDK to access the linked resources in your Remix app.

Type Input
<
string
>
Default “public,max-age=0,s-maxage=86400,stale-while-revalidate=8640”
The Cache-Control

Character encoding for text based assets, like HTML, CSS, JS. This is
used to set the Content-Type
header when these files are served out.
If set to "none"
, then no charset will be returned in header.
assets.versionedFilesCacheHeader?
Type Input
<
string
>
Default “public,max-age=31536000,immutable”
The Cache-Control
header used for versioned files, like main-1234.css

The command used internally to build your Remix app.
If you want to use a different build command.

buildDirectory
in the Remix plugin section of your Vite config.
cachePolicy?
Type Input
<
string

Default A new cache plolicy is created
Configure the Remix app to use an existing CloudFront cache policy.
By default, a new cache policy is created for it. This allows you to reuse an existing policy instead of creating a new one.
dev?
Type false
|
Object
Configure how this component works in sst dev
.
Instead of deploying your Remix app, this starts it in dev mode. It’s run
as a separate process in the sst dev
multiplexer. Read more about
sst dev
.
To disable dev mode, pass in false
.
dev.autostart?
Type Input
<
boolean

Default true
Configure if you want to automatically start this when sst dev
starts. You can still
start it manually later.
dev.command?
Type Input
<
string
>
Default “npm run dev”
The command that sst dev
runs to start this in dev mode.

The title of the tab in the multiplexer.
dev.url?
Type Input
<
string
>
Default “http://url-unavailable-in-dev.mode”
The url
when this is running in dev mode.
Since this component is not deployed in sst dev
, there is no real URL. But if you are
using this component’s url
or linking to this component’s url
, it can be useful to
have a placeholder URL. It avoids having to handle it being undefined
.
domain?
Type Input
<
string
|
Object
>
Set a custom domain for your Remix app.
Automatically manages domains hosted on AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, and Vercel. For other
providers, you’ll need to pass in a cert
that validates domain ownership and add the
DNS records.
By default this assumes the domain is hosted on Route 53.
For domains hosted on Cloudflare.
Specify a www.
version of the custom domain.
domain.aliases?
Type Input
<
string
[]
>
Alias domains that should be used. Unlike the redirect
option, this keeps your visitors
on this alias domain.
So if your users visit app2.domain.com
, they will stay on app2.domain.com
in their
browser.
domain.cert?
Type Input
<
string
>
The ARN of an ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) certificate that proves ownership of the domain. By default, a certificate is created and validated automatically.
The certificate will be created in the us-east-1
region as required by AWS CloudFront.
If you are creating your own certificate, you must also create it in us-east-1
.
To manually set up a domain on an unsupported provider, you’ll need to:
- Validate that you own the domain by creating an ACM certificate. You can either validate it by setting a DNS record or by verifying an email sent to the domain owner.
- Once validated, set the certificate ARN as the
cert
and setdns
tofalse
. - Add the DNS records in your provider to point to the CloudFront distribution URL.
domain.dns?
Type Input
<
false
|
sst.aws.dns
|
sst.cloudflare.dns
|
sst.vercel.dns
>
Default sst.aws.dns
The DNS provider to use for the domain. Defaults to the AWS.
Takes an adapter that can create the DNS records on the provider. This can automate validating the domain and setting up the DNS routing.
Supports Route 53, Cloudflare, and Vercel adapters. For other providers, you’ll need
to set dns
to false
and pass in a certificate validating ownership via cert
.
Specify the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 domain.
Use a domain hosted on Cloudflare, needs the Cloudflare provider.
Use a domain hosted on Vercel, needs the Vercel provider.
domain.name
Type Input
<
string
>
The custom domain you want to use.
Can also include subdomains based on the current stage.
domain.redirects?
Type Input
<
string
[]
>
Alternate domains to be used. Visitors to the alternate domains will be redirected to the
main name
.
Use this to create a www.
version of your domain and redirect visitors to the apex domain.
environment?
Type Input
<
Record
<
string
, Input
<
string
>
>
>
Set environment variables in your Remix app. These are made available:
- In
remix build
, they are loaded intoprocess.env
. - Locally while running through
sst dev
.
invalidation?
Type Input
<
false
|
Object
>
Default {paths: “all”, wait: false}
Configure how the CloudFront cache invalidations are handled. This is run after your Remix app has been deployed.
Wait for all paths to be invalidated.
invalidation.paths?
Type Input
<
string
[]
|
“
all
”
|
“
versioned
”
>
Default “all”
The paths to invalidate.
You can either pass in an array of glob patterns to invalidate specific files. Or you can use one of these built-in options:
all
: All files will be invalidated when any file changesversioned
: Only versioned files will be invalidated when versioned files change
Invalidate the index.html
and all files under the products/
route. This counts as two invalidations.
invalidation.wait?
Type Input
<
boolean
>
Default false
Configure if sst deploy
should wait for the CloudFront cache invalidation to finish.
Waiting for this process to finish ensures that new content will be available after the deploy finishes. However, this process can sometimes take more than 5 mins.

server.edge.viewerRequest.injection
Type Input
<
string

The code to inject into the viewer request function.
By default, a viewer request function is created to:
- Disable CloudFront default URL if custom domain is set.
- Add the

server.install?
Type Input
<
string

Dependencies that need to be excluded from the server function package.
Certain npm packages cannot be bundled using esbuild. This allows you to exclude them
from the bundle. Instead they’ll be moved into a node_modules/
directory in the
function package.
This will allow your functions to be able to use these dependencies when deployed. They
just won’t be tree shaken. You however still need to have them in your package.json
.
Esbuild will ignore them while traversing the imports in your code. So these are the package names as seen in the imports. It also works on packages that are not directly imported by your code.
