Deploy production-ready web sites and apps to your own AWS account with a single command.
Ness is a command-line tool that automates the deployment of web sites and applications to a user's own AWS account. It provisions production-ready infrastructure including S3 buckets, CloudFront CDN distributions, and SSL certificates, solving the complexity of manually configuring AWS services for web hosting. It supports modern frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, and React out of the box.
