Notlify is a Platform as a Service example that mimics the functionality of Netlify, using AWS Serverless techonologies
Notlify is an example of building a PaaS with AWS technologies, including S3, CloudFront, and the CDK. Notlify is not intended to be a production hosting service, but rather an example of a platform built entirely with TypeScript, Serverless AWS resources, and with independent deployment isolation.
- Static Websites Websites with static assets are all supported. They are continuously deployed on commit to an S3 bucket with a CloudFront distribution.
- Custom GitHub Action Notlify applications are simply deployed with a custom GitHub Action

- Serverless GraphQL Admin API The Notlify UI is backed by an Apollo GraphQL server in a Lambda function, using DynamoDB as a data store.
- Website Deployments via GitHub Actions Notlify executes individual website deployments to a separate AWS Account, using a distinct stage in the user's chosen region.
