Deploying my ReactJS and HTML5 app to AWS S3

This is a submission for the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge: Fast Static Website Deployment

What I Built

I wanted to host my ReactJS and HTML5 project to AWS S3. So, I used Pulumi to upload the files from my VSCode CLI.

My Journey

Starting with Pulumi was easy because of the documentation. However, for ReactJS and HTML5 web app. I faced a few common issues:

1. Access to S3

2. ES modules issue

3. Access to upload to S3 (file vs folder)

Using Pulumi

1. 2 files (yaml, and index.js) step up is easy to follow.

2. I used Pulumi's web integrated AI support. It was not able to provide me guidance that was helpful

3. Loved the preview URL generation, and access to the preview is amazing.

Looks interesting. I used to manually host my apps on AWS by generating a build, pushing it to S3 Bucket, creating a distribution using CloudFront and then adding a Route53 entry.
