2. Navigate to the project directory: cd aws-serverless-contact-form

3. Install the dependencies: yarn install

4. Set up AWS credentials:

   • Create an IAM user with the necessary permissions for Amazon SES.
   • Configure your AWS credentials by setting the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or by using the AWS CLI.

5. Verify the sender and recipient email addresses in Amazon SES.

6. Set the environment variables for the sender email address and AWS region in the .env.local file: SENDER_EMAIL=your_sender_email@example.com AWS_REGION=your_aws_region

7. Start the development server: yarn dev

8. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the contact form in action.

Deploying to Production

Before deploying to production, make sure you have requested production access for your Amazon SES account to send emails to any recipient.

To deploy the application to a production environment, you can use any hosting service that supports Next.js, such as Vercel or Netlify.
