How to deploy Solid to AWS

Deploy a Solid single-page application to an S3 bucket behind CloudFront.

Prerequisites

A Git repository containing your application and its production build command.
A Ravion account with your AWS account connected. Start free at Ravion signup.
The Ravion CLI installed and authenticated. See CLI installation.

The examples use my-org/my-app as a placeholder. Replace it with your repository before applying the config.

Set up this Solid app for Ravion static hosting.

Configure the deployment

The S3 bucket and CloudFront distribution are provisioned in your AWS account. This example uses Railpack for the build. Use build_source: dockerfile instead when you need a custom Dockerfile.

ravion.yaml

project:
  givenId: solid-site
  name: Solid site
environments:
  - givenId: production
    name: Production
    moduleInstances:
      - givenId: static-site
        name: Solid site
        type: rvn-aws-static
        version: 1.0.0
        input:
          aws_account_id: ravion-prod
          aws_region: us-east-1
          name: solid-site-production
          build_source: railpack
          source_repo: my-org/my-solid-app
          railpack_build_cmd: npm run build

The Solid Vite starter uses npm run build and writes to dist. Use VITE_* variables for values embedded in browser code.

Apply and connect your domain

ravion project create --given-id solid-site --name "Solid site"
ravion project config apply solid-site --file ravion.yaml --dry-run
ravion project config apply solid-site --file ravion.yaml

Point DNS at the CloudFront hostname with custom domains.
