Serverless Deployment of a Next.js Application Using AWS

This paper presents a practical and scalable approach to deploying a modern web application built with Next.js using Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a serverless environment. The deployment architecture incorporates AWS Amplify for frontend hosting and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) for programmatically sending emails from a contact form, and Route 53 for robust Domain Name System (DNS) management. We detail the configuration of each component, design rationale, and encountered challenges. The solution significantly reduces infrastructure overhead while preserving high availability, performance, and maintainability. Performance evaluation and architectural insights demonstrate that the proposed serverless approach is an efficient alternative to traditional deployment methods, especially for startups, research prototypes, and scale-ready applications.
