I built and deployed a production React website, reactdev101.com, on AWS using Infrastructure as Code and AI-assisted development with Claude Code.
What I did:
Wrote the AWS CDK stack in TypeScript: S3 for static hosting, CloudFront as a global CDN, HTTPS via ACM certificate.
Connected a custom domain through Route 53.
Set up IAM with scoped permissions for a safe deployment pipeline.
Debugged failed stacks and redeployed, with the whole process shown in the video.
Result: a fast, secure site served worldwide for about $1/month in hosting costs.
