How do I deploy a Next.js, Python, Go, or Rust app to AWS with Lander?

Sign in to Lander with Google at lander.host/onboard, install the Lander GitHub App, pick a repo, and push to your default branch. Lander runs CodeBuild to clone, docker build, push to ECR, and roll out to a per-customer Fargate task. Live at .app.lander.host in 4-6 minutes. Step-by-step guides per stack are at lander.host/deploy.

What makes Lander different from Vercel, Netlify, Railway, and Render?

Lander runs your code in a per-customer isolated VPC + Fargate task on real AWS — not shared serverless. AWS WAF + OWASP rules + AI Bug Hunter ship on every plan including Free (Vercel gates WAF at Enterprise; Railway and Render don't include it). The Free plan permits commercial use, unlike Vercel's Hobby tier. The Pro plan adds an in-app Claude Sonnet 4.6 builder with click-to-edit visual editing — no other deploy platform has this.

Does Lander support custom domains?

Yes, on the Hobby plan and above. Point a CNAME at .app.lander.host from your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace, Route53). Lander auto-issues an ACM SSL certificate and adds it to your ALB. No manual cert renewal — ACM rotates automatically.

What languages and frameworks does Lander support?

Anything that runs in a Docker container — Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, Django, Express, Go (net/http, chi, gin, echo, fiber), Rust (Axum, Actix-web, Rocket), and more. Static sites (Astro, 11ty, Hugo, VitePress, plain HTML) skip Fargate and ship to S3 + CloudFront automatically — ~30x cheaper. WebSockets and long-running connections are supported on Pro+.

How much does Lander cost?

Free plan is $0/month — 3 static sites, 100 GB bandwidth, commercial use allowed (unlike Vercel's Hobby). Hobby is $25/month for 1 dynamic Fargate site + unlimited static + custom domains + 50 GB bandwidth. Pro is $75/month for 1 dynamic + unlimited static + 20 Claude builder turns + click-to-edit visual editor + 300 GB bandwidth. Team is $200/month for 2 dynamic + 75 Claude turns + SSO + audit logs + 1 TB bandwidth. All paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I deploy a Vercel app to AWS via Lander?

Yes. Add a Dockerfile to your Next.js repo (with `output: 'standalone'` in next.config.js), push to GitHub, and connect to Lander. Most Vercel-deployed apps work without modification because they're already containerized via the standalone output. The deploy guide at lander.host/deploy/nextjs walks through it in 5 minutes.

Is Lander self-hosted?

Lander runs your code on its own AWS account by default. On Team and Enterprise tiers we support BYO AWS — Lander deploys into your AWS account, you keep ownership of all infrastructure, AWS bill goes to you directly. The control plane is managed by Lander; the customer infrastructure is in your account.

Does Lander support Claude or AI-driven deploys?

Yes. The Pro plan ($75/mo) includes an in-app Claude Sonnet 4.6 builder. Describe what you want, Claude writes the code, click any element on the live preview to edit. 20 turns per month included on Pro, 75 on Team. Models: Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic). Generated code lands as a PR in your own GitHub repo so you own it.

Where does Lander deploy to?

AWS us-west-2 (Oregon) by default. Per-customer VPC, Fargate task, ALB, ACM cert, Route53 record, and CloudFront distribution. Multi-region deploys are on the Team tier roadmap.

Make sure your build outputs to ./dist or ./public

Lander auto-detects static sites by looking for an index.html in common output dirs (`dist`, `public`, `build`, `out`). No Dockerfile needed.

Sign up — Free plan covers 3 static sites

lander.host/onboard → Google → Free plan (no card). Install GitHub App, pick repo, push to default branch.

First deploy

Lander runs your build (auto-detects from package.json scripts; falls back to looking for an existing dist/), uploads files to a per-customer S3 bucket, fronts it with CloudFront + ACM, and creates a Route53 record at <slug>.app.lander.host.

Subsequent pushes

GitHub webhook triggers a rebuild. Files diff-uploaded to S3 (only changed files). CloudFront invalidation runs automatically. Live in <60s.

[why · lander vs vercel · railway · render]

→Free plan permits commercial use — Vercel's Hobby tier doesn't.
→Auto-detected static = ~$0.50/mo per site, vs $9/mo for Fargate. Same custom-domain support.
→Real CloudFront edge cache, not a serverless reseller.

[gotchas]

·Custom 404 pages: name them `404.html` at the root of your dist/ — Lander wires CloudFront's custom-error-response config to point there.
·SPA routing: if you're shipping React/Vue/Svelte SPAs, set the build output to `dist/` and Lander auto-configures CloudFront to fall back to `index.html` for client-side routing.
·Don't put `.env.local` in the build output. Lander gitignores common env files but double-check your dist/.
