# Next.js Vercel app with Aurora DSQL

A full-stack React template with Next.js, Vercel, using native AWS integration.

# AWS Aurora DQSL Movies Demo

This demo uses AWS DSQL Postgres with Next.js to fetch movies from the database. It is able to securely connect to DSQL without using hardcoded access tokens through Vercel's [OIDC Federation](https://vercel.com/docs/security/secure-backend-access/oidc).

**Getting Started:**
Click the "Deploy" button to clone this repo, create a new Vercel project, setup the AWS integration, and provision a new DSQL database:

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Faws-dsql-movies-demo&project-name=aws-dsql-movies-demo&repository-name=aws-dsql-movies-demo&products=%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22integration%22%2C%22integrationSlug%22%3A%22aws%22%2C%22productSlug%22%3A%22aws-dsql%22%2C%22protocol%22%3A%22storage%22%7D%5D)
