Deployment Examples

Static Site Deployment

React/Vue/Angular Applications:
# CodinIT handles the deployment automatically
# Just use the deployment prompt: "Deploy to Netlify" or "Deploy to Vercel"
# The system will:
# 1. Detect your framework and build settings
# 2. Configure the appropriate build commands
# 3. Set up environment variables
# 4. Deploy to the chosen platform
# 5. Provide the live URL

Best Practices

Security Considerations

Never commit API keys or sensitive tokens to version control. Use environment variables and secure secret management.

Environment Variables

Use different API keys and configurations for development, staging, and production environments.

Access Controls

Configure appropriate permissions for deployment tokens and limit access to necessary resources.

Secret Rotation

Regularly rotate API keys and access tokens for enhanced security.

Audit Logs

Enable audit logging to track deployment activities and access patterns.

Performance Optimization

1

Optimize Build Process

Configure build caching, asset optimization, and parallel processing for faster deployments.
2

Use CDN Features

Leverage platform-specific CDN features for global content delivery and performance.
3

Monitor Performance

Set up performance monitoring and alerting to identify and resolve issues quickly.
4

Scale Resources

Configure auto-scaling based on traffic patterns and resource utilization.

💰 Cost Management

Most deployment platforms offer generous free tiers. Monitor usage and set up billing alerts to avoid unexpected costs.

Usage Tracking

Monitor bandwidth, build minutes, and function invocations across all platforms.

Budget Alerts

Set up notifications for approaching usage limits or budget thresholds.

Resource Optimization

Optimize resource usage through efficient caching and asset compression.

Plan Selection

Choose appropriate plans based on your usage patterns and growth projections.

Troubleshooting

Common Deployment Issues

Problem: Deployments fail during the build process.Solutions:
  • Check build logs for specific error messages
  • Verify Node.js version compatibility
  • Ensure all dependencies are properly installed
  • Check for syntax errors in your code
  • Verify environment variables are correctly configured
Problem: Application behaves differently in deployed environment.Solutions:
  • Verify environment variable names match exactly
  • Check variable values don’t contain extra whitespace
  • Ensure variables are set for the correct environment
  • Restart the deployment after variable changes
Problem: Custom domain not working or showing SSL errors.Solutions:
  • Verify DNS records are correctly configured
  • Wait for SSL certificate propagation (can take up to 24 hours)
  • Check domain registrar settings
  • Ensure CNAME records point to correct platform URLs
Problem: Application can’t connect to database after deployment.Solutions:
  • Verify database credentials and connection strings
  • Check database is running and accessible
  • Ensure firewall rules allow connections from deployment platform
  • Verify connection pooling configuration
