Abstract - The increasing reliance on web applications has created a strong demand for efficient and scalable frontend deployment systems. Traditional hosting approaches often require manual configuration, resulting in delays and potential errors. Modern platforms simplify deployment but introduce limitations in terms of cost, flexibility, and infrastructure control.
This paper presents a system titled “Enhancing Frontend Deployment using AWS CloudFront – A Vercel-Inspired Platform”, which focuses on automating frontend deployment using cloud-based services. The proposed solution integrates GitHub repositories, performs automated build processes,and distributes static content through AWS CloudFront for optimized global delivery.
The system is designed to minimize deployment time, improve performance using CDN-based caching, and provide a costeffective alternativeforstudentsanddevelopers.Byleveraging AWS S3 for storage and CloudFront for content delivery, the platform ensures high availability,scalability,andlowlatency.
The results demonstratethattheproposedsystemsignificantly improves deployment efficiency while maintaining simplicity and affordability.

1. INTRODUCTION
Therapidgrowthofmodernwebtechnologieshasincreased theneedforefficientdeploymentsystemsthatcandeliver applications quickly and reliably. Developers require platforms that not only automate the deployment process butalsoensurehighperformanceandscalability.
Traditional deployment methods involve manually uploadingfiles,configuringservers,andmanaginghosting environments. These processes are time-consuming and prone to human error. Modern solutions like automated deployment platforms have simplified this workflow, but they often come with limitations such as restricted customizationandhighercosts.
This project proposes a deployment platform inspired by modern tools, focusing on automation, performance, and affordability. The system integrates GitHub repositories, builds frontend applications automatically, and deploys them using cloud infrastructure. By utilizing AWS CloudFront, the system ensures faster content delivery throughgloballydistributededgelocations.
