Personal static website built with Next.js and deployed to AWS S3 + CloudFront using Terraform. The setup also manages DNS with Route 53 and TLS certificates via ACM.

• website/: Next.js app configured for static export (output: "export"), producing static files in website/out/
• tf/: Terraform to provision:
  • S3 bucket for static website hosting
  • CloudFront distribution (HTTPS, custom domain)
  • Route 53 hosted zone and A/ALIAS records
  • ACM certificate (in us-east-1 for CloudFront)
  • Remote Terraform state (S3 + DynamoDB) via module miladbeigi/backend-state/aws

cd website
pnpm run build
# With next.config.mjs (output: "export"), static files are emitted to ./out

Local development:

pnpm run dev

After provisioning, deploy the static export to the bucket (default milad.cloud).

export BUCKET=milad.cloud

# Long cache for assets (exclude HTML)
aws s3 sync website/out s3://$BUCKET \
  --delete \
  --exclude "*.html" \
  --cache-control "public,max-age=31536000,immutable"

# Short cache for HTML files
aws s3 sync website/out s3://$BUCKET \
  --exclude "*" --include "*.html" \
  --cache-control "public,max-age=60"

Invalidate CloudFront to pick up changes quickly (replace with your distribution id):

aws cloudfront create-invalidation \
  --distribution-id <CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION_ID> \
  --paths '/*'
