Deployment

There are a number of ways to deploy your Sample App to a live webpage. For less experienced developers, we recommend Netlify.

Netlify Deployment

Netlify lets you link a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository to a site for continuous deployment. Each time you push to your Git provider, Netlify runs a build with your tool of choice and deploys the result to their CDN.

Or order for Sample App to deploy correctly on Netlify be sure to configure the Build settings (found under >Deploy>Deploy Settings for your Site) the following way:

Build settings

You also need to set up the Environment Variablesusing the same ASSETLAYER_URL, ASSETLAYER_APP_ID, ASSETLAYER_APP_SECRET, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, and ENCRYPTION_SECRET you used locally. For ENVIRONMENT, you can use "dev" or "production" as needed.

Node.js Server

Next.js can be deployed to any hosting provider that supports Node.js. Make sure your package.json has the "build" and "start" scripts:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}

next build builds the production application in the .next folder. After building, next start starts a Node.js server that supports hybrid pages, serving both statically generated and server-side rendered pages.

Vercel Deployment

The easiest way to deploy Next.js to production is to use the Vercel platform from the creators of Next.js. Vercel is a cloud platform for static sites, hybrid apps, and Serverless Functions. Read more about it from official docs

Firebase Hosting

Using the Firebase CLI, you deploy files from local directories on your computer to your Hosting server. Beyond serving static content, you can use Cloud Functions for Firebase or Cloud Run to serve dynamic content and host microservices on your sites. Read more about it from official docs.
