Deployment Guides

Get your app from local to live.

Practical answers for AI-built apps, common web frameworks, custom domains, environment variables, and production failures.

1. How to deploy a vibe-coded app: Deploy a working app from your local project to a public URL with Ample, without configuring cloud infrastructure by hand.
2. How to publish an AI-generated website: Publish a website created with an AI coding tool and get a public URL while keeping the project in your own repo.
3. How to get an app from localhost onto the internet: Move a working local app to a public URL with a production runtime, health checks, TLS, and routing handled by Ample.
4. How to deploy an app with one command: Deploy a prepared single app with one synchronous Ample command and get a live or failed result without polling.
5. How to deploy a React app without DevOps: Deploy a React frontend by letting Ample detect whether it is a static Vite build or part of a server-rendered application.
6. How to deploy a Vite application: Build and publish a Vite application as a static site, with support for common Vite frameworks and single-page app routing.
7. How to deploy a Next.js application: Deploy a Next.js application on a Node 22 runtime, including workspace projects and server-rendered routes.
8. How to deploy a Node application: Deploy a Node web app or API with a compatible Node 22 runtime, production start command, PORT binding, and health checks.
9. How to connect a custom domain to an AI-built app: Attach your own domain to a live Ample deployment, set the DNS record returned by the CLI, verify it, and activate TLS routing.
10. How to add environment variables during deployment: Pass encrypted environment variables or an env file to Ample without packaging secret files into the release.
11. What to do when an app works locally but not in production: Diagnose build, runtime, port, environment, persistence, and routing differences when a local app fails after deployment.
12. How to redeploy after changing an AI-built app: Release source or configuration changes with Ample, understand unchanged no-op deploys, and inspect failures before retrying.
13. What is a deployment agent?: Learn how a coding agent can inspect, plan, deploy, diagnose, and redeploy an app through a CLI with stable contracts.
14. Ample versus conventional cloud deployment: Compare Ample's agent-driven deployment workflow with assembling a conventional cloud deployment from individual infrastructure services.
15. What is the best deployment approach for vibe-coded applications?: Choose a deployment approach for an AI-built app based on source access, runtime needs, data, repeat releases, and required infrastructure control.
