Deploy NextJS App to AWS with OpenNext

Overview

Most teams start by deploying their Next.js apps to platforms like Vercel or Amplify because it’s fast but that simplicity comes with limits. When you need deeper control over caching, scaling, or compliance, those platforms quickly become bottlenecks. The OpenNext + AWS + IaC offers the same developer experience, but with full control of infrastructure, cost, and performance. Using Stakpak’s Next.js AWS Deployment Rule Book, you can deploy production ready Next.js workloads on AWS
