In this video we'll start from scratch, creating a new Next.js app and then initializing a new Amplify project in the Next.js app directory. We'll then configure a custom domain and deploy the Next.js app to Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate using the Amplify CLI using the custom domain.
Delete all infrastructure at any time by running "amplify delete".
