Vibe Coding: Deployment
Tuesday, June 16, 2026, 10:00 AM PDT – 12:00 PM PDT
Virtual event
Hosted by Founder Guide
Your app works on your machine. Now it is time to put it on the internet where anyone with the link can use it. Deployment sounds technical, but modern platforms have made it surprisingly straightforward. This session walks you through the process end to end. By the end of two hours, your project will be live on a real URL. What You Will Learn • Choosing a hosting platform. Vercel, Netlify, Railway, and Render. Which one fits your project and why. We will cover the trade-offs in plain language. • Deploying your project. The step-by-step process of going from code on your machine to a live website. • Custom domains. How to connect your own domain name so your app lives at yourbusiness.com instead of a random platform URL. • Environment variables in production. How to make sure your API keys and database credentials work in the deployed version without being exposed. • Monitoring and debugging in production. How to tell if something is broken after you deploy and how to fix it. What You Will Walk Away With • Your project deployed and accessible via a public URL. • Knowledge of how to update your deployed app when you make changes. • A deployment checklist for future projects. Prerequisites This session assumes you have some experience building with AI coding tools. You will get the most out of it if: • You have a working project that you want to make publicly accessible. • Helpful: version control set up (Session 3) since most deployment platforms pull from Git. • Helpful: authentication set up (Session 8) if your app requires login. What to Bring • A laptop with a browser (all tools we use are web-based) • A project you are working on or want to start • Your project in its current state, ideally in Cursor with Git set up • If you have a domain name you want to use, have the login credentials for your domain registrar handy Part of the From Prototype to Product Series This is Session 1 of 10 in the Vibe Coding: From Prototype to Product workshop series.
