Deploying Your Application

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 85 views

Overview

Creating a comprehensive tutorial page is essential for users to understand the deployment process and best practices for deploying applications from the /my-apps section. This documentation will guide users through the deployment process, highlighting key configuration settings, environment variables, and domain setup.

Documentation Structure

1. Page Location and Links

To create a comprehensive tutorial page, we need to ensure that it is easily accessible from the root README.md and the /my-apps page. We will create a new file docs/tutorials/deploying-apps.md and add links to the root README.md and the /my-apps page.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create a new file docs/tutorials/deploying-apps.md
Add a link to the root README.md
Add a link to the /my-apps page
Add the tutorial page to the documentation navigation if it exists

2. Tutorial Content Structure

The tutorial content structure will include an introduction, step-by-step deployment guide, example configurations, common issues and solutions, implementation tasks, required screenshots, code examples to include, success criteria, additional resources, best practices section, and timeline.
