πŸš€ Enhancing the Next.js + AWS S3 Upload Project: Latest Updates

DISCLAIMER

If you follow this tutorial, you might end up paying for AWS services.

Building on the foundation of the original tutorial, I’ve recently made significant improvements to the Next.js + AWS S3 image upload project. These updates bring cutting-edge features and tools to enhance performance and developer experience. Here’s what’s new:

  • Next.js 15 Upgrade with App Router 🧭 The project has been upgraded to Next.js 15, introducing the new App Router for a more streamlined and scalable routing system.

✨ Key Benefits:

πŸ› οΈ Simplified route definitions for cleaner code.
⚑ Enhanced support for streaming and React Server Components.
πŸ–₯️ Improved tooling for a better development experience.

  • React.js 19 Upgrade πŸŒ€ With the jump to React.js 19, the project now enjoys performance boosts and new hooks for even more flexible state and effect management.

πŸ”₯ What’s New in React 19:

πŸš€ Faster rendering for improved performance.
πŸͺ Additional hooks that make coding more intuitive and concise.

  • Automated Dependency Updates with Renovate πŸ€– To keep the project secure and up-to-date, I’ve integrated Renovate. This automation tool scans dependencies and creates pull requests for updates, saving time and reducing risk.

πŸ’‘ Why Renovate?

πŸ•’ Saves hours of manual updates.
πŸ›‘οΈ Ensures libraries are always secure and current.
πŸ“ˆ Streamlines dependency management with minimal effort.

  • Pending Amazon CloudFront Integration 🌍 The next big step will be integrating Amazon CloudFront. This will further reduce latency and improve content delivery across regions. Stay tuned for this exciting update!
