+### (Preview) Perform authentication on the server side and enable HTTP-only cookies
+
+<Callout warning>
+
+**NOTE:** Once you enable the server-side sign-in feature, auth tokens are stored in HTTP-only cookies and you may not change the HTTP-only attribute. Since these cookies are inaccessible from client-side scripts, you won’t be able to use any Amplify JS APIs on the client side. Therefore, you don’t need to configure Amplify on the client side.
+
+</Callout>
+
+**Prerequisites**
+
+To authenticate users on the server side, you must enable either Amazon Cognito Managed Login or Hosted UI in your Amazon Cognito User Pool client.
+
+
+**Step 1 - Specify the origin of your app in environment variables**
+
+Add the following environment variables to your Next.js app. For example in a `.env` file:
+
+```shell title=".env"
+AMPLIFY_APP_ORIGIN=https://myapp.com
+```
+
+Ensure this environment variables is accessible in your Next.js app's server runtime.
+
+> **Note:** Token cookies are transmitted via server-side authentication flows. In production environments, it is recommended to use HTTPS as the origin for enhanced security.
+
+**Step 2 - Export the `createAuthRouteHandlers` function**
+
+The `createAuthRouteHandlers` function is created by the `createServerRunner` function call when you configure Amplify for server-side usage. You can export this function from your `amplifyServerUtils.ts` file. You can also configure cookie attributes with the `runtimeOptions` parameter.
+
+```typescript title="utils/amplifyServerUtils.ts"
+import { createServerRunner } from '@aws-amplify/adapter-nextjs';
+import config from '@/amplify_outputs.json';
+
+export const {
+  runWithAmplifyServerContext
+  // highlight-start
+  createAuthRouteHandlers,
+  // highlight-end
+} = createServerRunner({
+  config,
+  // highlight-start
+  runtimeOptions: {
+    cookies: {
+      domain: '.myapp.com', // making cookies available to all subdomains
+      sameSite: 'strict',
+      maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 // 7 days
+    }
+  }
+  // highlight-end
+});
+```
+
+**Step 3 - Set up the Auth API routes**
+
+Create an API route using the `createAuthRouteHandlers` function. For example:
+
+<BlockSwitcher>
+<Block name="App router">
+```typescript title="src/app/api/auth/[slug].ts"
+import { createAuthRouteHandlers } from "@/amplifyServerUtils";
+
+export const GET = createAuthRouteHandlers({
+  redirectOnSignInComplete: "/home",
+  redirectOnSignOutComplete: "/sign-in",
+});
+```
+</Block>
+<Block name="Pages router">
+```typescript title="src/pages/api/auth/[slug].ts"
+import { createAuthRouteHandlers } from "@/amplifyServerUtils";
+
+export default createAuthRouteHandlers({
+  redirectOnSignInComplete: "/home",
+  redirectOnSignOutComplete: "/sign-in",
+});
+```
+</Block>
+</BlockSwitcher>
+
+With the above example, Amplify generates the following API routes:
+
+| API Routes                                          | What it does                                                 |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `/api/auth/sign-up`                                 | Upon navigating an end user to this route, they’ll be redirected to the Amazon Cognito Managed Login sign-up form. After sign-up and sign-in, they’ll be redirected back to the route `/api/auth/sign-in-callback`. |
+| `/api/auth/sign-in`                                 | Upon navigating an end user to this route, they’ll be redirected to the Amazon Cognito Managed Login sign-in form. After sign-in, they’ll be redirected back to the route `/api/auth/sign-in-callback`. |
+| `/api/auth/sign-in?provider=<social-provider-name>` | Upon navigating an end user to this route, they’ll be redirected to first to the Amazon Cognito Managed Login and then the specified social provider sign-in page. After sign-in, they’ll be redirected back to the route `/api/auth/sign-in-callback`. |
+| `/api/auth/sign-out`                                | Upon navigating an end user to this route, the end user will be signed out and redirected to the route `/api/auth/sign-out-callback`. |
+| `/api/auth/sign-in-callback`                        | Amazon Cognito Managed Login redirects an end user back to this route after signing in. Amplify exchanges auth tokens and stores them as HTTP-only cookies in the browser cookie store, then redirects the end user back to the route specified by the `redirectOnSignInComplete` parameter. |
+| `/api/auth/sign-out-callback`                       | Amazon Cognito Managed Login redirects an end user back to this route after signing out, Amplify revokes access token and refresh token and removes token cookies from browser cookie store, then redirects the end user back to the route specified by the `redirectOnSignOutComplete` parameter. |
+
+> **Note:** A signing-out call involves multiple steps, including signing out from Amazon Cognito Managed Login, revoking tokens, and removing cookies. If the user closes the browser during the process, the following may occur:
+>
+> 1. auth token have not been revoked - user remains signed in
+> 2. auth token have been revoked but cookies have not been removed - cookies will be removed when the user visits the app again
+
+**Step 4 - Provide the redirect URLs to the Auth Resource in Amplify**
+
+You can provide the callback API routes as the redirect URLs in the Auth resource configuration. For example:
+
+```ts title="amplify/auth/resource.ts"
+export const auth = defineAuth({
+  loginWith: {
+    email: true,
+    externalProviders: {
+      google: {...},
+      // highlight-start
+      callbackUrls: ["https://myapp.com/api/auth/sign-in-callback"],
+      logoutUrls: ["https://myapp.com/api/auth/sign-out-callback"],
+      // highlight-end
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+**Step 5 - Use Anchor link for initiating server-side authentication flows**
+
+Use HTML anchor links to navigate users to the sign-in and sign-up routes. For example:
+
+<BlockSwitcher>
+<Block name="Sign in button">
+```tsx title="src/components/SignInButton.tsx"
+export const SignInButton() {
+  return (
+    <a href="/api/auth/sign-in">
+      Sign In
+    </a>
+  );
+}
+```
+</Block>
+<Block name="Sign in with Google button">
+```tsx title="src/components/SignInWithGoogleButton.tsx"
+export const SignInWithGoogleButton() {
+  return (
+    <a href="/api/auth/sign-in?provider=Google">
+      Sign In with Google
+    </a>
+  );
+}
+```
+</Block>
+<Block name="Sign up button">
+```tsx title="src/components/SignUpButton.tsx"
+export const SignUpButton() {
+  return (
+    <a href="/api/auth/sign-up">
+      Sign Up
+    </a>
+  );
+}
+```
+</Block>
+<Block name="Sign out button">
+```tsx title="src/components/SignOutButton.tsx"
+export const SignOutButton() {
+  return (
+    <a href="/api/auth/sign-out">
+      Sign Out
+    </a>
+  );
+}
+```
+</Block>
+</BlockSwitcher>
+
+When an end user clicks on the buttons above, a corresponding server-side authentication flow will be initiated.
