Analog on AWS with SST

Create and deploy an Analog app to AWS with SST.

We are going to create an Analog app, add an S3 Bucket for file uploads, and deploy it to AWS using SST.

Before you get started, make sure to configure your AWS credentials.


1. Create a project

Let’s start by creating our project.

Terminal window
npm create analog@latest
cd aws-analog

We are picking the Full-stack Application option and not adding Tailwind.


Init SST

Now let’s initialize SST in our app.

Terminal window
npx sst@latest init
npm install

Select the defaults and pick AWS. This’ll create a sst.config.ts file in your project root.

It’ll also ask you to update your vite.config.ts with something like this.

vite.config.ts
plugins: [analog({
nitro: {
preset: "aws-lambda",
}
})],

Start dev mode

Run the following to start dev mode. This’ll start SST and your Analog app.

Terminal window
npx sst dev

Once complete, click on MyWeb in the sidebar and open your Analog app in your browser.


2. Add an S3 Bucket

Let’s allow public access to our S3 Bucket for file uploads. Update your sst.config.ts.

sst.config.ts
const bucket = new sst.aws.Bucket("MyBucket", {
access: "public"
});

Add this above the Analog component.

Now, link the bucket to our Analog app.

sst.config.ts
new sst.aws.Analog("MyWeb", {
link: [bucket],
});

3. Generate a pre-signed URL

When our app loads, we’ll generate a pre-signed URL for the file upload on the server. Create a new src/pages/index.server.ts with the following.

src/pages/index.server.ts
import { Resource } from 'sst';
import { PageServerLoad } from '@analogjs/router';
import { getSignedUrl } from '@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner';
import { S3Client, PutObjectCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3';
export const load = async ({ }: PageServerLoad) => {
const command = new PutObjectCommand({
Key: crypto.randomUUID(),
// @ts-ignore: Generated on deploy
Bucket: Resource.MyBucket.name,
});
const url = await getSignedUrl(new S3Client({}), command);
return {
url
};
};

And install the npm packages.

Terminal window
npm install @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner

4. Create an upload form

Add the upload form client in src/pages/index.page.ts. Replace it with the following.

src/pages/index.page.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { injectLoad } from '@analogjs/router';
import { toSignal } from '@angular/core/rxjs-interop';
import { load } from './index.server';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
standalone: true,
imports: [FormsModule],
template: `
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit($event)">
<input type="file" name="file">
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
`,
})
export default class HomeComponent {
data = toSignal(injectLoad<typeof load>(), { requireSync: true });
async onSubmit(event: Event): Promise<void> {
const file = (event.target as HTMLFormElement)['file'].files?.[0]!;
const image = await fetch(this.data().url, {
body: file,
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
'Content-Type': file.type,
'Content-Disposition': `attachment; filename="${file.name}"`,
},
});
window.location.href = image.url.split('?')[0];
}
}

Here we are injecting the pre-signed URL from the server into the component.

Head over to the local Analog app site in your browser, http://localhost:5173 and try uploading an image. You should see it upload and then download the image.


5. Deploy your app

Now let’s deploy your app to AWS.

Terminal window
npx sst deploy --stage production

You can use any stage name here but it’s good to create a new stage for production.


Connect the console

As a next step, you can setup the SST Console to git push to deploy your app and monitor it for any issues.

SST Console Autodeploy

You can create a free account and connect it to your AWS account.
