You've built a great Next.js application. It works perfectly on your laptop. But how do you get it running reliably in the cloud? How do you automate deployments so every code change goes live without manual steps? This hands-on course answers those questions. You'll learn the entire process of deploying a Next.js application to AWS, setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy, configuring a custom domain with SSL, and automating everything with CI/CD using GitHub Actions. From zero to fully automated production deployment—this course covers it all.

This Course Offers

• Complete Backend Deployment Fundamentals: Understand how deployment works, the essential concepts, and the strategies used in production environments.
• AWS Cloud Setup and Configuration: Set up an AWS account, configure EC2 instances, and implement security groups to protect your infrastructure.
• Nginx as Reverse Proxy: Learn to configure Nginx to manage traffic, optimize performance, and serve your Next.js application.
• Domain and SSL Setup: Configure custom domains and install free SSL certificates with Let's Encrypt for secure HTTPS connections.
• CI/CD Automation with GitHub Actions: Master continuous integration and deployment principles, and create GitHub Actions workflows that automatically deploy to AWS on every code push.
• Hands-On Project: Build and deploy a complete Next.js application with automated CI/CD pipelines.

Why We Love This Course

1. It's End-to-End and Practical. From cloud setup to CI/CD automation, you learn the entire deployment lifecycle for a modern Next.js app.
2. It's Hands-On with a Real Project. You're not just learning theory—you're building and deploying a real Next.js application.

• It Covers Essential Production Concerns. Security groups, Nginx, custom domains, SSL, automated deployments—these are the skills employers actually look for.
• It's Designed for Developers Who Want to Level Up. If you can build Next.js apps but struggle to deploy them, this course fills that gap.

Deployment and CI/CD are the skills that separate developers from DevOps-capable engineers. Mastering them makes you more valuable, more autonomous, and ready for production environments.

• Anyone who wants to learn deployment from scratch and understand how applications go from laptop to production.
• Anyone who wants to learn CI/CD and automate their deployment workflow.
• Web developers who can build applications but struggle with deployment and infrastructure.
• Next.js developers who want to understand the full lifecycle of their applications.
• DevOps beginners looking to build practical skills with AWS and GitHub Actions.
• Freelancers who want to deploy and manage client applications independently.
• Students who want to add deployment and automation to their skillset.

• Basic Knowledge of Web Development.
• AWS Basic Understanding.
• Git and GitHub Basics.
• A computer with internet access.
