Deploying NestJS App to AWS

Lets look into the in-depth how to deploy a NestJS application to a Cloud Platform. Deploying your NestJS application to the cloud enables you to make it accessible to users worldwide while ensuring scalability and reliability. Several cloud platforms, such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Heroku, offer services for deploying NestJS applications. Choose a platform based on your needs for pricing, scalability, and ease of use.

Deploying to AWS Lambda

To deploy your NestJS application to AWS Lambda, you can use the serverless framework. First, install it globally:

npm install -g serverless        

Next, create a serverless.yml file in your project's root with the following configuration:

service: my-nestjs-app
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs14.x
  region: us-east-1
functions:
  app:
    handler: dist/main
    events:
      - http: ANY /
      - http: 'ANY {proxy+}'
        

Replace my-nestjs-app with your desired service name and us-east-1 with your preferred region.

Finally, deploy your application to AWS Lambda using the serverless deploy command:

serverless deploy
