So you've built your first AdonisJS 5 application, but it's of no use remaining on your computer. It's time to showcase it to the world. This course is going to help you with that. It's not only going to show you how to take your application from your development machine to a production server but also some best practices required when running AdonisJS in production.

Throughout this course, we cover deploying to various platforms such as Heroku, DigitalOcean App Platform, Cleavr, and lastly directly to a VPS.

Preparing for deployment

We start the course by getting and setting up the source code of the project we'll be deploying.

In this lesson, we look at how the build process works, which is essential to be able to properly deploy an AdonisJS 5 application.

AdonisJS uses environment variables for most of its configuration settings. These variables are defined inside a dedicated file called .env that is directly in the project root.

The last step in preparing for deployment section will be to create a Git repository for the application, that way we can easily pull it into whatever platform we will be deploying to.

In this lesson, we cover how to deploy an AdonisJS 5 application to Heroku.

Render is a PaaS for hosting various types of applications and services just like Heroku. If you’re looking for Heroku alternatives maybe due to their recent cancelation of their free tier or for some other reasons, Render can be a drop-in replacement for Heroku. In this lesson, we are going to cover how to deploy our Adonis application to Render.
