A fullstack monorepo that can be used as a launch pad for your next application. This uses NextJS 14, Tailwind/DaisyUI and Amplify JS libraries on the frontend. On the backend it uses the AWS CDK, AppSync, Cognito, DynamoDB, and Amplify Hosting.
For developers looking to create fullstack applications, the Fullstack NextJS + AWS CDK Starter offers a sophisticated solution that leverages cutting-edge technologies like NextJS 14 and AWS CDK. This starter repo is especially valuable for those who need flexibility in building their applications while still providing a familiar structure similar to AWS Amplify. It combines a robust frontend stack with an efficient backend setup, making it a go-to resource for rapid development and prototyping.
With this starter setup, developers can quickly scaffold their projects, experiment with different features, and connect their frontend and backend seamlessly. While it offers an impressive array of tools and frameworks, it’s important to note that this is a starter repository and not a fully-fledged framework, making it ideal for developers who want to create custom workflows and solutions.
