Deployment

Running locally is step one.
Deploying early is step two.

You'll learn

• How to deploy the starter
• How env variables fit later
• What to verify after deploy
• Common deployment pitfalls

Production checklist

Test locally:

pnpm build
pnpm start

Deploy on Vercel

Push repo:

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO.git
git push -u origin main

Import project on Vercel and deploy.

No environment variables required yet.

Verify routes

• /login
• /dashboard
• /projects
• /admin
• /billing
• /settings

Future env variables

AUTH_SECRET=
DATABASE_URL=
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=

Common pitfalls

• Deploying too late
• Ignoring production builds
• Adding env variables too early
