Overview:

This project demonstrates how to create a serverless Nuxt.js server-side rendering solution using lambda@edge. It provides control over which requests are handled by Nuxt.js and which requests can be served directly from S3. This solution offers benefits such as control over cachability of responses, global scalability, lower latency, and lower costs compared to traditional setups using API Gateway + Lambda.

Features:

• Control over request handling: Choose which requests are handled by Nuxt.js and which requests are served directly from S3.
• Cachability control: Specify separate PathPatterns within Cloudfront CacheBehaviors or return cache-control headers as part of Nuxt.js responses.
• Global scalability: Lambda@edge functions are replicated across all AWS regions for improved scalability.
• Lower latency: Invocation of API Gateway + Lambda can have higher latency compared to serving directly from S3.
• Lower costs: API Gateway has higher per request costs, especially when using caching.

Installation:

To use this solution, you will need the following software installed:

• Node.js
• Serverless framework (install with npm install -g serverless)
• AWS CLI

To set up the project, follow these steps:

1. Install NPM dependencies: $ npm install
2. Serve the project: $ npm run dev
3. Invoke lambda@edge render function locally: $ npm run invoke

To deploy the project, use the following command:

$ npm run deploy

Summary:

This project demonstrates how to create a serverless Nuxt.js server-side rendering solution using lambda@edge, Cloudfront, and S3. It provides control over request handling, cachability of responses, and offers benefits such as global scalability, lower latency, and lower costs compared to traditional setups using API Gateway + Lambda. The installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and deploying the project.
