Thunder provides production-ready AWS CDK construct libraries for deploying modern web applications. Choose the deployment pattern that best fits your use case.

## Static

Deploy client-side SPAs and static site generators on AWS S3 with CloudFront CDN. Supports Astro, Next.js, Vite, Gatsby, React Router, and any static site generator.

<StaticArchitecture />

**Use Static for:**
- Client-side rendered applications
- Static site generators (Astro, Next.js static export)
- Portfolio and documentation sites
- Global CDN distribution
- High-performance edge caching

## Lambda

Deploy serverless APIs and backend functions on AWS Lambda with modern web frameworks like Express.js, Hono, NestJS, and Fastify. Perfect for microservices, APIs, and event-driven workloads.

<LambdaArchitecture />

**Use Lambda for:**
- RESTful and GraphQL APIs
- Microservices and backend services
- Event-driven processing
- Lightweight workloads with variable traffic
- Pay-per-request pricing model

## Fargate

Deploy containerized full-stack applications on AWS Fargate with Application Load Balancer. Supports Next.js, Nuxt, TanStack Start, SvelteKit, Astro, and any containerized application.

<FargateArchitecture />

**Use Fargate for:**
- Full-stack applications (Next.js, Nuxt)
- Server-rendered applications
- Persistent server state
- Database connections and background jobs
- Automatic scaling and high availability

## Serverless Fullstack

Deploy full-stack SSR frameworks using Lambda for server-side rendering, S3 for static assets, and CloudFront as the global CDN. Supports Nuxt, Astro, TanStack Start, SvelteKit, Solid Start, and AnalogJS.

<ServerlessArchitecture />

**Use Serverless for:**
- Server-side rendered applications
- Full-stack frameworks (Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit)
- API routes and server functions
- Scales to zero with pay-per-request pricing
- Global edge distribution
