Summary
In this chapter, we’ve taken crucial steps to ensure that your NestJS application is not only deployed but also well-prepared for the demands of a production environment. By configuring a local server for production-like testing, deploying using Docker, and leveraging cloud platforms, you’ve learned how to deploy your application across different environments easily. We’ve also covered essential post-deployment best practices, including monitoring, logging, security, backups, and scaling, to maintain and optimize your application once it’s live.
As we move forward, we must focus on automating these processes. In the next chapter, we’ll dive into Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, enabling you to streamline your deployment workflows, ensure code quality, and make your deployments faster and more reliable. Stay tuned as we take your application development process to the next level.
