What is Deployment?
Deployment is the process of making an application available to users. It involves uploading code to servers, configuring infrastructure, and ensuring the application runs correctly.
Definition
Deployment is the process of releasing software to production where users can access it. Modern deployment involves: pushing code to a hosting platform, running build processes, configuring domains and SSL, and monitoring for errors. Platforms like Vercel and Heroku simplify deployment with automatic builds from Git repositories. Continuous deployment (CD) automates releases so code changes go live quickly.
Key Points
- Moves code from development to production
- Modern platforms automate most of the process
- Includes domain configuration and SSL
- Continuous deployment automates releases
- Monitoring ensures the app stays running
Examples
- 1.Vercel for Next.js applications
- 2.Railway or Render for backend services
- 3.AWS for enterprise infrastructure
- 4.Heroku for simple deployments
