apex.json

The apex.json file points your root (apex) domain — e.g., yourdomain.com without any prefix — to a specific site.

Location: {vertical}/nnet/apex.json

Example

To serve a specific site at the root domain:

{
  "site": "prod",
  "awsRegion": "us-east-1"
}

To disable apex domain routing:

{}

Fields

Field	Description
site	The site name to serve at the root domain (e.g., prod, dev).
awsRegion	The AWS region of that site (e.g., us-east-1).

---

How It Works

When configured, Nar adds yourdomain.com as an alias on the CloudFront distribution for the specified site. Visitors to yourdomain.com see the same content as {region}.{site}.{vertical}.yourdomain.com.

Prerequisites

• domain.json must be configured first — apex routing requires a custom domain.
• The domain's hosted zone must exist in Route 53.
