Deploying your application
Now that you have your project set up as a local GitHub repository, it's time to take that code and get it online! The following sections will each cover the process of deploying your application to a few different popular cloud-based hosting providers.
Feel free to explore and experiment with each, as most have free or relatively inexpensive plans. Each provider has its strengths and weaknesses, so I'll leave it up to you to decide which to stick to for your particular needs. The services that we cover aren't presented in any particular order.
Note
For the purpose of this chapter, I will consistently name my app imgploadr
; however, your app name needs to be different and unique. Wherever I include imgploadr
in this chapter, you should replace it with your own app's unique name.
