SolidStart on AWS with SST
Create and deploy a SolidStart app to AWS with SST.
We are going to create a SolidStart 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.
We are picking the bare, and TypeScript 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 app.config.ts
with something like this.
Start dev mode
Run the following to start dev mode. This’ll start SST and your SolidStart app.
Once complete, click on MyWeb in the sidebar and open your SolidStart app 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 SolidStart
component.
Link the bucket
Now, link the bucket to our SolidStart app.
3. Generate a pre-signed URL
When our app loads, we’ll generate a pre-signed URL for the file upload and use it in our form. Add this below the imports in src/app.tsx
.
Add the relevant imports.
And install the npm packages.
4. Create an upload form
Add a form to upload files to the presigned URL. Replace the App()
component in src/app.tsx
with:
Head over to the local app in your browser, http://localhost:3000
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.
Congrats! Your site should now be live!
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.
