Deploying to AWS

Is there any documentation for electing to host on AWS and not Glitch? Would the commercial or non-commercial be its own containerized instance?

Hey, the client-side parts are super easy to host as typically you just upload your build folder. Thereā€™s docs for various deployment options, but not specifically for AWS yet: Deployment & Compression | Needle Engine Documentation

Are you looking at just client-side code or also server-side (e.g. networking)? Would love to learn more about your usecase.

Hey, thank you for the Insite @herbstšŸŒµ , I suppose Iā€™m looking for a use case hosting server side, Iā€™m wanting to have a container instance, Is there a process to configure in the deployment process in Unity?

With ā€œserver sideā€ you mean running multiplayer networking code or just hosting? Just want to make sure weā€™re talking about the same thing

Thereā€™s an API to make builds and thereā€™s also command line flags for automated builds

On top of that you can make your own ā€œdeployment componentsā€ similar to the one we already ship

Well I might be asking the wrong question, sorry about that. What I mean is deployment targeting. I suppose I am confused about targeting perhaps. In the process of build to folderā€¦is there any step by step to change the configuration in unity and uploading directly to a hosted web server. Iā€™m not very concerned about multi player networking yet. Thank you so much @herbstšŸŒµ . At the moment I am using Glitch, and I would like to know best practices for this use case.

So the ā€œsuper quick getting startedā€ is that you

  • open build settings in Unity
  • select Needle Engine as target
  • click on build
  • upload that folder wherever you want, including on AWS

Youā€™re welcome! In the docs above that would be the ā€œBuild to folderā€ approach, all the others are basically wrappers that first build to a folder and then upload the result somewhere for you
