🚀 Deployed My Next.js Portfolio on AWS EC2 (Production Setup)

🚀 From Localhost to Live Cloud Server—Portfolio
Deployed on AWS EC2

Today I took my Next.js portfolio from development mode to a fully live production server on AWS EC2 (Amazon Linux 2023).

Instead of using managed platforms, I deployed it manually to understand the infrastructure deeply.

⚙️ What I did:
• Launched EC2 instance
• Configured Amazon Linux
• Installed Node.js & Git
• Built the Next.js app for production
• Managed the process using PM2
• Configured Nginx as reverse proxy
• Opened and secured ports via Security Groups

🌍 Result:
My portfolio is now live on a public cloud server.
