AWS Resources

Deployment

During deployment the Nitric CLI creates a bucket for your website assets and a CloudFront distribution to serve them:

• A CloudFront distribution is created to serve your website and rewrite all APIs to /api/{apiName} using CloudFront Functions
• Cache invalidation is automatic based on changed files
