Deployment, Domains & Production Readiness
Taking the application from localhost to a real production URL — and proving it holds up.
Day 03 covers everything between “it works on my machine” and “it works in production”: deploying, pointing a real domain at it, making it discoverable, and measuring it.
What you will learn
- Deploy a production application
- Configure domains and DNS
- Prepare a website for search-engine discovery
- Measure and improve website performance
- Explain and demonstrate a technical solution
Deploy with Vercel
Deploy your application so it is publicly accessible. The final application must be reachable during judging.
Configure the Domain with Cloudflare
Connect your deployed application to a domain or subdomain, and see how a name becomes an address.
Google and Bing Indexing
Once the site is deployed, learn how search engines discover and index a website using Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Google PageSpeed Insights
Evaluate the deployed application, investigate what the report flags, improve what is worth improving, and test again.
