Deployment

The process of publishing your app or code to a live server so real users can access it. Moving from "working on my machine" to "live on the internet."

Deployment is the moment your work becomes real. Modern platforms like Vercel and Railway make deployment almost automatic, but understanding what it means prevents costly mistakes.

A founder connects her GitHub repo to Vercel. Every time she pushes a code change, Vercel automatically deploys the new version, zero manual uploading needed.
