Deployment

Deployment is the process of taking your finished app and making it live, so it runs at a real web address that anyone can visit. It's the step that turns a private working version into a public product.

Build and preview privately, then deploy when it's ready for the world.

How deployment works

While you build, your app runs in a private preview only you can see. Deployment publishes it to a live environment at a public address, so real users can reach it. Preview and the live version are separate: changes you make in preview don't appear on the live app until you deploy again. On Emergent, deployment is one click, and you can point your own custom domain at the deployed app so it runs under your own web address.

Examples

You build a personal portfolio site, check it looks right in preview, then deploy it so anyone can visit it at a real URL. A week later you update your project list in preview, and the live site keeps showing the old version until you redeploy, because the published app doesn't change until you push the update.
