Astro on AWS with SST
Create and deploy an Astro site to AWS with SST.
We are going to create an Astro site, 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.
We are picking all the default options.
Init SST
Now let’s initialize SST in our app.
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 astro.config.mjs
with something like this.
Start dev mode
Run the following to start dev mode. This’ll start SST and your Astro site.
Once complete, click on MyWeb in the sidebar and open your Astro site in your browser.
2. Add an S3 Bucket
Let’s add a public
S3 Bucket for file uploads. Update your sst.config.ts
.
Add this above the Astro
component.
Link the bucket
Now, link the bucket to our Astro site.
3. Create an upload form
Add the upload form client in src/pages/index.astro
. Replace the <Layout />
component with:
Add some styles, replace the <style />
tag with:
4. Generate a pre-signed URL
When our app loads, we’ll generate a pre-signed URL for the file upload and use it in the form.
And install the npm packages.
Head over to the local Astro site in your browser, http://localhost:4321
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.
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.
You can create a free account and connect it to your AWS account.
