Great tutorial - thank you! I finished the tutorial and successfully deployed, but am getting errors when navigating to the site. When navigating to https://[unique id].execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/, I get the message {"message": "Internal server error"}. One nuance is that I removed the customDomain section, as I was hoping to use the AWS endpoint.

One thing I did when testing, is I added "dev": "next" to the scripts object in the package.json, so when I run npm run dev, I get the correct information displaying at localhost:3000, localhost:3000/dogs, etc.

Also, I added the code below to the server.js file, and when I navigate to https://[unique id].execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/test, I get the 'Hello World!' message displaying, as expected:

server.get('/test', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!');
});

The full server.js file is below. The server.get function with the res.send works, but the server.get functions with the app.render always throw an error.

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const next = require('next');
const pathMatch = require('path-match');
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();
const { parse } = require('url');

const server = express();
const route = pathMatch();
server.use('/next', express.static(path.join(_dirname, '.next')));
server.get('/test', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!');
});
server.get('/', (req, res) => {
app.render(req, res, '/')
});
server.get('/dogs', (req, res) => {
app.render(req, res, '/dogs')
});
server.get('/dogs/:breed', (req, res) => {
const params = route('/dogs/:breed')(parse(req.url).pathname)
return app.render(req, res, '/dogs/_breed', params)
});
server.get('*', (req, res) => handle(req, res))

module.exports = server;

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Sorry if I'm doing anything real obvious, as I am completely new to Next.js and still fairly beginner with AWS.

Hi, this raised a couple a questions with me:

1. What benefit does serverless provide in this scenario? What are the alternatives(aws cli?terraform?idk.)?
2. Why is your article on nuxt mentioned only in the list at the end, although this is almost exactly the same thing again?

Hi,

Once I deploy this, I'm able to load the front page, but all the next resources (*.js) come back as 403, any idea why?

Thanks for your help,

I have stumbled on a few of your tutorials Adnan and they are all awesome. I actually read through all of this before realising it was you (I got into Serverless when I read your Express, Mongo + Serverless tutorial on hackernoon). NextJS is great and I am stoked that it is just as easy to deploy to Lambda. Thank you!

This was the error I received after I ran 'npm run deploy' for the first time.

I have a domain name that ends in .info

Could that be the cause?

Error: Could not set up basepath mapping. Try running sls create_domain first.

Error: Error: 'react-ssr.happyweather.info' could not be found in API Gateway.

NotFoundException: Invalid domain name identifier specified

Great tutorial - thanks alot! I am new to the NextJS x AWS Lambda stack. When I call the function url, all I get is a random string like: PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+CjxodG1sIGxhbmc9ImVuIj4KPGhlYWQ+CjxtZXRhIGNoYXJzZXQ9InV0Zi04Ij4KPHRpdGxlPkVycm9yPC90aXRsZT4KPC9oZWFkPgo8Ym9keT4KPHByZT5DYW5ub3QgR0VUIC88L3ByZT4KPC9ib2R5Pgo8L2h0bWw+Cg==

Locally everything works fine and I can see that NextJS is rendering my pages. However, on lambda all I get is that random string.
Do you know why this could be happening? Thanks alot :D

Is it possible to display images from the static folder once the site is deployed? I added an image for a logo to the static folder and am displaying it in the header component. It shows while I'm developing on localhost, but when I deploy to AWS it shows as a broken image.

Here's my code:
github.com/joshglazer/freetimeupda...

Have you done any performance testing on this setup? I would be interested to know some numbers like TTFB and others.

I saw that Next.js 8 was released after you published this article. It has a section about how serverless is now supported. Should I do anything differently because of this?

Hey, this is great thanks! For those following the tutorial and copying and pasting the code, there is a typo in index.js.. it is missing ). FYI

Considering lambda cold starts; what does this do for initial load times?

So you keep the secrets file locally? What if you are on a team and want to deploy this through CI/CD? Would you handle that on there?
