Publish Your App

Deployment Options

You can deploy your Spawned app to:

• Vercel - Best for most projects, free tier included
• Your own server - Full control, more setup required
• Other platforms - Netlify, Railway, Render all work

Deploy to Vercel (Recommended)

1. Click Export → Deploy
2. Connect your GitHub account if prompted
3. Vercel detects your app type and configures everything
4. Click Deploy

Your app is live in about 60 seconds.

Custom Domains

See our domain connection guide for details.

Quick version:

1. Go to Vercel → Settings → Domains
2. Add your domain
3. Update DNS records at your registrar
4. Wait for SSL certificate (automatic)

Environment Variables

If your app uses external services (Supabase, Stripe, etc.), add their keys:

1. Vercel → Settings → Environment Variables
2. Add each key-value pair
3. Redeploy for changes to take effect

Keep secrets out of your code. Environment variables are encrypted and never exposed to users.

Preview Deployments

Every time you push to GitHub, Vercel creates a preview URL. This lets you:

• Test changes before going live
• Share work-in-progress with others
• Review on real devices

Monitoring

After launch, keep an eye on:

• Analytics - Vercel shows traffic and performance
• Errors - Check the Functions tab for any crashes
• Speed - Lighthouse scores help identify slow pages

Scaling

Vercel's free tier handles most personal projects. If you get popular:

• Pro plan adds more bandwidth and build minutes
• Edge functions run closer to users
• Image optimization reduces load times
