What’s the Easiest Way to Deploy CloudFront + S3 to AWS? Try Lime Boost

If you've ever tried to set up a CloudFront distribution + S3 bucket manually in AWS, you know it’s not as “quick and easy” as the docs make it sound.

Buckets, permissions, Origin Access Control, cache behaviors and then waiting about 15 minutes for a distribution to deploy.

How about deleting your infrastructure when it’s not needed anymore. Is it easy to do or have you ever thought that you’ll do it a bit later when you’ll have time for that?

I built Lime Boost to take that pain away.

What is Lime Boost?

Lime Boost is a developer-first tool that lets you deploy full AWS infrastructure (starting with CloudFront + S3) in minutes. No AWS Console clicking, no Terraform, no CloudFormation.

Just log in, click "Create Infrastructure", and you're live.

What It Deploys?

With one click, Lime Boost:

  • Creates a new S3 bucket for your static files
  • Sets up the proper permissions and bucket policy
  • Creates a CloudFront distribution with: Correct origin pointing to S3, Caching behavior, Outputs your public CloudFront URL

How to Try It?

Go to https://limeboost.io
Connect your AWS account,
Upload your build folder (like dist/ from Angular/React/...),
Click "Create Infrastructure",

Done. Your app is now on CloudFront
