Section 3: Running Strapi in Production

Section 3 of the book focuses on preparing and running Strapi in a production environment. We will see how to use Postgres as a production database, use s3 for storing media files, keep permission in sync between environments, seed the database with sample data, and use multiple configurations for each environment. Afterward, we will learn how to deploy our API to Heroku and AWS Fargate. The final chapter is dedicated to testing the API; we will see how to write unit and integration tests for our API.

In this section, we will cover the following chapters:

• Chapter 9, Production-Ready Applications
• Chapter 10, Deploying Strapi
• Chapter 11, Testing the Strapi API
