Use this skill when the user needs to deploy their app, choose a hosting provider, connect a custom domain, set up environment variables, manage a production database, configure DNS, or go from 'it works locally' to 'it's live on the internet.' Covers hosting selection, deployment workflows, domain setup, and production operations for non-technical founders.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
The gap between "it works on my screen" and "anyone can use it" feels enormous. It's not. This skill walks you through choosing a host, deploying, connecting a domain, and setting up backups — step by step.
This skill is for deployment and hosting. For pre-launch quality checks, use go-live. For monitoring after deploy, use monitor. For database setup, use database. For security hardening, use secure.
| Built With | Deploy To | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Lovable | Lovable's built-in hosting | Already deployed. Just connect your domain. |
| Replit | Replit Deployments | One-click deploy from your Repl. Built in. |
| Bolt / Stackblitz | Netlify or Vercel | Export code, connect git repo, auto-deploys. |
| Claude Code (Next.js, React) | Vercel | Built for Next.js. Git push = deploy. |
| Claude Code (any framework) | Railway | Supports everything. Simple dashboard. |
| Claude Code (static site) | Netlify or Cloudflare Pages | Free tier is generous. Fast global CDN. |
| Claude Code (Python/Django/Flask) | Railway or Render | Good Python support with managed databases. |
| Platform | Free Tier | Ease | Database | Custom Domain | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Generous | Very easy | No (use Supabase) | Yes | Next.js, React apps |

Recommendation for most solo founders: Vercel (for Next.js) or Railway (for everything else).
Your app is already running. You just need a custom domain:
Deployment Checklist — Vercel:
- [ ] Push your code to a GitHub repository
- [ ] Go to vercel.com → "Add New Project"
- [ ] Connect your GitHub repo
- [ ] Vercel auto-detects framework and configures build settings
- [ ] Add environment variables (Settings → Environment Variables)
- [ ] Click "Deploy"
- [ ] Connect custom domain (Settings → Domains)
- [ ] Update DNS (Vercel gives you the records)
- [ ] Verify HTTPS is working
Tell AI:
Help me deploy my Next.js app to Vercel. My app uses:
- Framework: [Next.js version]
- Database: [Supabase/PlanetScale/etc.]
- Environment variables I need: [list them]
Walk me through the steps and tell me what environment variables
to set in the Vercel dashboard.
Deployment Checklist — Railway:
- [ ] Push code to GitHub repository
- [ ] Go to railway.app → "New Project"
- [ ] Choose "Deploy from GitHub Repo"
- [ ] Select your repo
- [ ] Add environment variables in the Railway dashboard
- [ ] If you need a database: click "New" → "Database" → "PostgreSQL"
- [ ] Railway gives you a DATABASE_URL — add it to your app's env vars
- [ ] Click "Deploy"
- [ ] Connect custom domain (Settings → Networking → Custom Domain)
- [ ] Update DNS records
Environment variables store secrets (API keys, database passwords) that should never be in your code.
Common Environment Variables:
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:5432/dbname
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_live_...
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://xxx.supabase.co
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=eyJ...
EMAIL_API_KEY=re_...
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=random-string-here
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://yourdomain.com
NODE_ENV=production
.env and .env.local to .gitignore.Tell AI:
List all the environment variables my app needs for production deployment.
My app uses: [list your services — Supabase, Stripe, email provider, etc.]
Show me which ones are public (safe for client-side) and which are secret
(server-only).
.com if possible. .io and .co are fine for SaaSYour hosting platform will tell you exactly which DNS records to add. Typical setup:
| Record Type | Name | Value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 (example) | Points root domain to host |
| CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com (example) | Points www to host |
Where to add DNS records: Log in to wherever you bought your domain (Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.) → DNS Settings → Add the records your hosting platform gives you.
DNS propagation takes 5 minutes to 48 hours (usually under 30 minutes). Be patient.
Tell AI:
I bought a domain on [Namecheap/Cloudflare/Google Domains] and I'm hosting on [Vercel/Railway/Netlify].
Walk me through connecting the domain step by step. Tell me exactly which DNS records
to add and where.
Supabase is already hosted. Your production app connects to the same Supabase project (or a separate one for production):
Production Database Checklist — Supabase:
- [ ] Create a separate Supabase project for production (don't share with dev)
- [ ] Run your migrations on the production database
- [ ] Enable Row Level Security (RLS) on all tables
- [ ] Set up database backups (Supabase Pro plan includes daily backups)
- [ ] Use the production URL and keys in your production env vars
| Service | Free Tier | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | 500MB, 2 projects | Postgres + auth + storage |
| Railway Postgres | Included with $5 credit | Apps already on Railway |
| PlanetScale | 1 billion row reads/mo | MySQL, branching workflow |
| Neon | 512MB | Serverless Postgres |
| Render Postgres | 1GB, 90-day limit | Apps already on Render |
If you don't have backups, a single mistake can destroy your business.
Backup Checklist:
- [ ] Database backups enabled (daily minimum)
- [ ] Verified you can restore from a backup (test this!)
- [ ] Code is in a git repository (GitHub/GitLab)
- [ ] Environment variables documented (not in code, but you know what they all are)
- [ ] File uploads stored in cloud storage (S3, Supabase Storage, Cloudflare R2)
Database backups by platform:
Once deployed, set up basic monitoring (see monitor skill for full guidance):
Minimum Viable Monitoring:
- [ ] Uptime check — Use BetterUptime, UptimeRobot (free), or Checkly
- [ ] Error tracking — Use Sentry (free tier) to catch production errors
- [ ] Alerts — Get notified by email or Slack when your site goes down
- [ ] Check your app once daily — log in and use it like a customer
Tell AI:
My app at [URL] is showing [error]. I'm hosted on [platform] with
[database]. Here are the error logs: [paste logs]. Help me figure out
what's wrong and how to fix it.
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Committing API keys to GitHub | Add .env to .gitignore. Rotate any leaked keys immediately |
| Using the same database for dev and production | Create separate environments. One bad query shouldn't break production |
| No backups | Enable database backups today. Not tomorrow. Today |
| Skipping custom domain | Buy one. $10/year. yourapp.com builds trust |
| Overcomplicating deployment | Use the platform that matches your build tool. Don't migrate unnecessarily |
| Not |

Covers hosting selection, deployment workflows, domain setup, and production operations for non-technical founders." --- # Deployment & Going Live The gap between "it works on my screen" and "anyone can use it" feels enormous. It's not. This skill walks you through choosing a host, deploying, connecting a domain, and setting up backups — step by step. **This skill is for deployment and hosting.** For pre-launch quality checks, use **go-live**. For monitoring after deploy, use **monitor**. For database setup, use **database**. For security hardening, use **secure**. ## Core Principles - The best hosting platform is the one that matches how you built. Don't migrate unless you have to. - Managed beats self-managed every time for solo founders. Pay more, worry less. - Your first deployment should take under 30 minutes. If it's taking hours, you're overcomplicating it. - Custom domains are not optional for a real business. yourapp.vercel.app is not professional. - Backups are not optional. If you don't have them, you don't have a business. ### Don't Do Yet - **Don't set up Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or "infrastructure as code."** Managed platforms handle this. You're shipping a product, not building a data center. - **Don't set up a staging environment** until you have paying users. Deploy straight to production. You can add staging later. - **Don't optimize for scale** before you have traffic. A $5/month Railway plan handles thousands of users. Worry about scaling when it becomes a real problem. - **Don't self-host your database.** Use a managed service (Supabase, Railway Postgres, PlanetScale). Self-hosting means you're on call for backups, upgrades, and outages. ## Choose Your Hosting ### If You Built With These Tools | Built With | Deploy To | Why | |-----------|-----------|-----| | **Lovable** | Lovable's built-in hosting | Already deployed. Just connect your domain. | | **Replit** | Replit Deployments | One-click deploy from your Repl. Built in. | | **Bolt / Stackblitz** | Netlify or Vercel | Export code, connect git repo, auto-deploys. | | **Claude Code (Next.js, React)** | Vercel | Built for Next.js.

Fast global CDN. | | **Claude Code (Python/Django/Flask)** | Railway or Render | Good Python support with managed databases. | ### Hosting Comparison for Solo Founders | Platform | Free Tier | Ease | Database | Custom Domain | Best For | |----------|-----------|------|----------|---------------|----------| | **Vercel** | Generous | Very easy | No (use Supabase) | Yes | Next.js, React apps | | **Railway** | $5 credit/mo | Easy | Yes (Postgres) | Yes | Full-stack apps, any framework | | **Netlify** | Generous | Very easy | No | Yes | Static sites, JAMstack | | **Render** | Free tier | Easy | Yes (Postgres) | Yes | Full-stack, background jobs | | **Fly.io** | Limited free | Moderate | Yes (Postgres) | Yes | Global distribution, Docker | | **Cloudflare Pages** | Very generous | Easy | No (use D1 or Supabase) | Yes | Static sites, edge functions | | **Replit** | Included | Easiest | Yes (built-in) | Yes | Apps built in Replit | | **Lovable** | Included | Easiest | Yes (Supabase) | Yes | Apps built in Lovable | **Recommendation for most solo founders:** Vercel (for Next.js) or Railway (for everything else). --- ## Deployment: Step by Step ### Path 1: Lovable / Replit (Already Deployed) Your app is already running. You just need a custom domain: 1. Buy a domain (Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Google Domains) 2. In your Lovable/Replit dashboard, go to Settings → Custom Domain 3. Add your domain name 4. Update DNS records at your domain registrar (they'll tell you what to add) 5. Wait 5-30 minutes for DNS propagation 6. SSL certificate is automatic — your site will be HTTPS ### Path 2: Vercel (Next.js / React) ``` Deployment Checklist — Vercel: - [ ] Push your code to a GitHub repository - [ ] Go to vercel.com → "Add New Project" - [ ] Connect your GitHub repo - [ ] Vercel auto-detects framework and configures build settings - [ ] Add environment variables (Settings → Environment Variables) - [ ] Click "Deploy" - [ ] Connect custom domain (Settings → Domains) - [ ] Update DNS (Vercel gives you the records) - [ ] Verify HTTPS is working ``` **Tell AI:** ``` Help me deploy my Next.js app to Vercel. My app uses: - Framework: [Next.js version] - Database: [Supabase/PlanetScale/etc.] - Environment variables I need: [list them] Walk me through the steps and tell me what environment variables to set in the Vercel dashboard. ``` ### Path 3: Railway (Any Framework) ``` Deployment Checklist — Railway: - [ ] Push code to GitHub repository - [ ] Go to railway.app → "New Project" - [ ] Choose "Deploy from GitHub Repo" - [ ] Select your repo - [ ] Add environment variables in the Railway dashboard - [ ] If you need a database: click "New" → "Database" → "PostgreSQL" - [ ] Railway gives you a DATABASE_URL — add it to your app's env vars - [ ] Click "Deploy" - [ ] Connect custom domain (Settings → Networking → Custom Domain) - [ ] Update DNS records ``` --- ## Environment Variables Environment variables store secrets (API keys, database passwords) that should never be in your code. ### What Goes in Environment Variables ``` Common Environment Variables: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:5432/dbname STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_... STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_live_... STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_... NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://xxx.supabase.co SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=eyJ... EMAIL_API_KEY=re_... NEXTAUTH_SECRET=random-string-here NEXTAUTH_URL=https://yourdomain.com NODE_ENV=production ``` ### Rules - **Never commit secrets to git.** Add `.env` and `.env.local` to `.gitignore`. - **Each environment (dev/staging/prod) has its own variables.** Don't share them. - **Use your hosting platform's dashboard** to set production variables. Not a file on a server. - **Rotate keys if you accidentally commit them.** Immediately. Git history preserves secrets even if you delete the file. **Tell AI:** ``` List all the environment variables my app needs for production deployment. My app uses: [list your services — Supabase, Stripe, email provider, etc.] Show me which ones are public (safe for client-side) and which are secret (server-only). ``` --- ## Custom Domains ### Buying a Domain - **Namecheap** or **Cloudflare Registrar** — cheapest, no markup - Get a `.com` if possible. `.io` and `.co` are fine for SaaS - Avoid hyphens, numbers, and hard-to-spell names - Budget: $10-15/year for a .com ### DNS Setup Your hosting platform will tell you exactly which DNS records to add. Typical setup: | Record Type | Name | Value | Purpose | |------------|------|-------|---------| | A | @ | 76.76.21.21 (example) | Points root domain to host | | CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com (example) | Points www to host | **Where to add DNS records:** Log in to wherever you bought your domain (Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.) → DNS Settings → Add the records your hosting platform gives you. **DNS propagation** takes 5 minutes to 48 hours (usually under 30 minutes). Be patient. **Tell AI:** ``` I bought a domain on [Namecheap/Cloudflare/Google Domains] and I'm hosting on [Vercel/Railway/Netlify]. Walk me through connecting the domain step by step. Tell me exactly which DNS records to add and where. ``` ### SSL / HTTPS - Every modern hosting platform provides free SSL certificates automatically - If your site shows "Not Secure" after connecting a domain, wait 30 minutes for SSL to provision - If it still doesn't work after an hour, check that your DNS records are correct --- ## Database in Production ### If You're Using Supabase Supabase is already hosted. Your production app connects to the same Supabase project (or a separate one for production): ``` Production Database Checklist — Supabase: - [ ] Create a separate Supabase project for production (don't share with dev) - [ ] Run your migrations on the production database - [ ] Enable Row Level Security (RLS) on all tables - [ ] Set up database backups (Supabase Pro plan includes daily backups) - [ ] Use the production URL and keys in your production env vars ``` ### If You Need a Hosted Database | Service | Free Tier | Best For | |---------|-----------|----------| | **Supabase** | 500MB, 2 projects | Postgres + auth + storage | | **Railway Postgres** | Included with $5 credit | Apps already on Railway | | **PlanetScale** | 1 billion row reads/mo | MySQL, branching workflow | | **Neon** | 512MB | Serverless Postgres | | **Render Postgres** | 1GB, 90-day limit | Apps already on Render | --- ## Backups If you don't have backups, a single mistake can destroy your business. ``` Backup Checklist: - [ ] Database backups enabled (daily minimum) - [ ] Verified you can restore from a backup (test this!) - [ ] Code is in a git repository (GitHub/GitLab) - [ ] Environment variables documented (not in code, but you know what they all are) - [ ] File uploads stored in cloud storage (S3, Supabase Storage, Cloudflare R2) ``` **Database backups by platform:** - **Supabase:** Daily backups on Pro plan. Point-in-time recovery on Team plan. - **Railway:** Daily backups included. One-click restore. - **Render:** Daily backups. 7-day retention on paid plans. - **PlanetScale:** Automatic backups with branching. --- ## Monitoring Your Live App Once deployed, set up basic monitoring (see monitor skill for full guidance): ``` Minimum Viable Monitoring: - [ ] Uptime check — Use BetterUptime, UptimeRobot (free), or Checkly - [ ] Error tracking — Use Sentry (free tier) to catch production errors - [ ] Alerts — Get notified by email or Slack when your site goes down - [ ] Check your app once daily — log in and use it like a customer ``` --- ## When Things Go Wrong ### "My site is down" 1. Check your hosting dashboard for deploy errors or resource limits 2. Check your database — is it running? Is it full? 3. Check environment variables — did any API keys expire? 4. Check Stripe/Supabase/other service status pages 5. If you can't figure it out within 30 minutes, check your hosting platform's logs **Tell AI:** ``` My app at [URL] is showing [error]. I'm hosted on [platform] with [database]. Here are the error logs: [paste logs]. Help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. ``` ### "I deployed but it looks broken" - **Blank page:** Check browser console (F12) for JavaScript errors. Usually a missing environment variable. - **API errors:** Environment variables are probably not set in production. - **Works locally but not in production:** 99% of the time it's environment variables. - **Styling looks wrong:** Check that your CSS/Tailwind build step is running in the deploy. ### "I need to roll back" - **Vercel:** Dashboard → Deployments → click on previous deployment → "Promote to Production" - **Railway:** Dashboard → Deployments → click on previous deployment → "Rollback" - **Netlify:** Dashboard → Deploys → click on previous deploy → "Publish deploy" --- ## Common Mistakes | Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | Committing API keys to GitHub | Add `.env` to `.gitignore`. Rotate any leaked keys immediately | | Using the same database for dev and production | Create separate environments. One bad query shouldn't break production | | No backups | Enable database backups today. Not tomorrow.
