Static Websites & Assets

Serverless Cloud allows you to serve files from your application URL. This is useful for serving static assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript, allowing you to host front-end apps and websites. By convention, static assets must be stored in the static directory at the root of your application.

API routes take precedence over static assets and will be served first.

Using React, Vue, and other SPAs

If you are using SPAs that require a build step, you can store your source files in your project directory and configure your output directory to be /static. To prevent Serverless Cloud from syncing your source files, you can add a .serverlessignore file in the root of your project and add a list of directories and files you do not wish to sync.

For example, if your source files are stored in /src, your .serverlessignore file should contain the following:

src

This will allow you to run a separate terminal with your SPA build scripts running and only sync when it generates output files.

NOTE: Please be sure to restart your cloud shell after changing the .serverlessignore file.
