Hi there

You can use a custom build command to upload your static files to S3 during each build on App Platform.

This allows you to automate the process as part of your deployment workflow.

Check out the DigitalOcean docs on build and run commands for more details: 🔗 https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/build-run-commands/
