AWS Elastic Beanstalk Deployment Preset

[robokozo]

I just went through the process of deploying my Nuxt app to AWS via AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Overall it wasn't too difficult but I think it would be wonderful to have an additional Deployment Preset for this use case because I think it can be automated significantly.

Check it out here: http://nuxttest-env.eba-kuwvv9vj.us-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/

Note: I am not an expert. I'm just fumbling my way through it... but it worked

1. Update the nuxt.config.ts file to include the nitro preset for node-server.

export default defineNuxtConfig({
    nitro: {
        preset: "node-server",
    },
})

2. Create a package.json with a start script that runs the application

{
    "scripts": {
        "start": "node ./server/index.mjs"
    }
}

3. Create a .zip file that contains the contents of the .output folder and the new package.json
   

4. The .zip file can now be uploaded to Elastic Beanstalk
