Projects using Prisma Client can be deployed to many different cloud platforms. Given the variety of cloud platforms and different names, it's noteworthy to mention the different deployment paradigms, as they affect the way you deploy an application using Prisma Client.

General considerations when deploying to AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda Web Adapter allows developers to build web apps (http api) with familiar frameworks (e.g. Express.js, Next.js, Flask, SpringBoot, ASP.NET and Laravel, anything speaks HTTP 1.1/1.0) and run it on AWS Lambda. The same docker image can run on AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, and local computers.

Running Next.js applications with Serverless services on AWS

Either CDK or SAM create a demo environment showing how you can use Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon S3 to run a Next.js application.
