Deployment
The process of moving your code from development to production where real users can access it.
What is Deployment?
Deployment is the process of taking your code from your local machine or staging environment and making it live for real users.
It involves configuring servers, setting up databases, managing environment variables, and ensuring everything works in production. Most modern deployments happen through platforms like Vercel, Railway, or Fly.io that handle the infrastructure for you.
Good deployment setups include CI/CD pipelines that automatically test and deploy when you push to main. You can roll back instantly if something breaks, and you can deploy multiple times per day without sweating.
Most platforms offer free tiers for side projects. Pricing scales with usage, typically starting around $20-50/month for production apps with real traffic.
