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.
