#Deployment

You've built your app. Now you need to put it somewhere.

Alepha compiles to a standard Node.js application, but we optimize the output for different deployment targets. Same code, different runtimes. You write once, deploy anywhere.

#The Build Command

npx alepha build

This single command does a lot:

1. Compiles your TypeScript backend.
2. Bundles your React frontend with Vite.
3. Optimizes and minifies assets.
4. Outputs everything to dist/.

Add flags to target specific platforms:

npx alepha build --vercel      # Vercel serverless
npx alepha build --cloudflare  # Cloudflare Workers
npx alepha build --docker      # Docker container
npx alepha build --stats       # Show bundle analysis

#Choosing a Platform

Pick based on your needs:

• "I want the easiest path" → Vercel
• "I need edge performance" → Cloudflare Workers
• "I want full control" → Docker on any VPS

Your Alepha code stays the same. Only the deployment target changes.

#Next Steps

• Docker Deployment - Deploy to any VPS or container platform
• Vercel Deployment - Serverless deployment with Vercel
• Cloudflare Deployment - Edge deployment with Workers
• File Storage - Configure storage providers for production
• Environment Variables - Required configuration for production
