## Deployment guide: prepare your code and deploy it to a stable cloud environment

A key stage in the software development lifecycle is moving code from a developer’s local environment to production. New developers often ask what deployment means and what it takes to make an app available on the web. Deployment turns source code into a running service that can reliably respond to user requests. Modern PaaS platforms automate work that once required configuring web servers, firewalls, and databases by hand.

### Key steps in the project deployment process

Follow these basic practices to help your software keep running reliably when you deploy a project:

- **Manage dependencies and packages:** Keep standard package manager files, such as package.json, requirements.txt, composer.json, or Cargo.toml, in the repository root so the cloud platform can prepare the right runtime environment.

- **Keep environment variables separate** Do not store secret keys, database connection details, or private URLs in your code. Set them as environment variables instead.

- **Set the PORT variable** Modern web servers should read the listening port from the PORT environment variable and bind to 0.0.0.0 so they can receive traffic from the cloud network.

### Deploying software on a cloud platform vs. traditional hosting

With traditional hosting, deploying software meant signing in to a control panel such as cPanel or connecting to a Linux server over SSH to run web server commands by hand. This made mistakes more likely and scaling up during traffic peaks difficult. With [PaaS service](/products/paas) Deplomo, each push to a Git repository or CLI command can trigger an automatic deployment. For details about the platform, see the [PaaS deployment guide](/support/docs/paas) is available to you.

### Deployment guides for popular programming stacks

Choose a step-by-step guide for the framework and language your project uses:

- **Python and AI** For Python web frameworks, see the guide to [deploying Django](/guides/deploy-python), FastAPI, and Flask on [Python hosting](/products/python) Deplomo.

- **JavaScript and TypeScript** Documentation [Deploy a Node.js app](/guides/deploy-nodejs) For Express and NestJS, see the guide [Node.js cloud hosting](/products/nodejs) and the guide [Deploy nextjs](/guides/deploy-nextjs) for server-side rendering with [Next.js hosting](/products/nextjs) Deplomo.

- **Front-end and static sites** For single-page apps, see the guide to [deploy react](/guides/deploy-react) For hosting HTML and CSS files, see the guide to [Static site deployment](/guides/deploy-static-sites) static sites.

- **PHP frameworks and modern languages** Practical guide [Deploy Laravel](/guides/deploy-laravel) for business websites and documentation [Deploy golang](/guides/deploy-go) for compiled languages.

### Production deployments and external dependencies

During a build, dependencies are fetched from the registries your project uses, including pip, npm, Composer, and Cargo. Check credentials, registry availability, and network requirements before deploying; third-party access policies still apply.
