A few months ago, during my Flatiron days, I decided to create a guide to deploying your app to Heroku: https://dev.to/sofiajonsson/deploying-your-app-to-heroku-ob6 Heroku is a great free platform, but what you're not paying for is a quick and responsive website.
I'm in the process of uploading my portfolio site through Amazon Web Services (AWS) using S3 and route 53 and have run into an issue getting my static endpoint to display the uploaded application. I have spent hours browsing blog posts and StackOverflow and there's something I'm not understanding.
Instead of seeing my site I get a 404 NoSuchKey error:
The YouTube tutorial I've been following suggests setting my endpoint to index.html, but that's not working and I'm assuming it's because the file is nested within one of my other React.js files? I also tried with index.js as that would make more sense, but ran into the same issue. When I tried to provide a direct location such as "src/index.js"or "public/index.html" I would get the following error:
From what I've gathered, AWS is great for hosting static sites and suggests using vanilla JS, so could that be the problem?
I'm curious to hear about your experiences uploading to AWS using S3 and route 53 and any tips or tricks you might have. I'm going to keep working on this and hopefully follow up with an outlined post in case anyone else runs into this issue.
