Chapter 11. Deploying Node.js Applications
So far, we have only run our application in our local development environment. In this chapter, we will deploy it to the Web. There are many different options for hosting an application. We will work through one deployment option to quickly get an application up and running. We will also discuss broader principles and alternative options for deploying Node.js applications.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Deploying our application to the Web
- Using application logs to diagnose issues on remote servers
- Setting up database servers and environmental configuration
- Deploying automatically from Travis CI
Tip
If you want to follow along with this chapter, you can use the code from https://github.com/NodeJsForDevelopers/chapter10/ as a starting point. This contains the example code from the end of Chapter 10, Creating Real-time Web Apps, which we will build on in this chapter.
