Creating a react game on AWS

Image description**Prerequisites
**AWS Account
Installed Node.js and npm
React Vite project created (npx create-vite@latest)

Setup the React + Vite Game
Initialize React Vite Project

npx create-vite@latest my-game --template react
cd my-game
npm install
npm run dev

Ensure your game works locally.

Install Amplify CLI:
Initialize Amplify
npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

Configure Amplify CLI:
amplify configure

Use either:

Frontend Secrets: For frontend access (AMPLIFY_API_VAR).

IAM Keys: For backend-specific operations (e.g., server-to-server communication).

Tip: If your game only fetches API data, use frontend secrets (AMPLIFY_API_VAR).

Configure CI/CD for Deployment
Connect Git Repository:

Link your GitHub/Bitbucket/GitLab repository to Amplify via the Amplify Console.

Set up the build process in the Build Settings (Amplify auto-generates amplify.yml for deployment).
