How to Become a Web Developer - Things You Need to Learn - STEP 8 - Deploying Apps
Welcome back fellas to the Part 8 of my how to become a web developer series. In our previous tutorial, we talked on other handy side technologies you can learn to make you a professional web developer or give you an edge over other developers. You can check that out HERE.
In this part of the series, I will be telling us about how to deploy apps. Remember in the step 3 of this series we talked about deploying a website check it Here which is is just the web designing knowledge. Now that you are a developer, you can build web apps, hence we will talk on how to deploy such apps.
To deploy an app, the following are things you need to know/learn.
Dedicated Servers/VPS: To deploy app, you have to move away from shared hosting account and learning more about dedicated servers and VPS. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server which basically a dedicated virtual machine that you can rent out. With VPS you get a lot of abilities you will get from a dedicated server, but VPS is quite cheaper.
App Hosting - Heroku, Digital Ocean, AWS : When it comes to app hosting, there are a whole lot of services most especially if you are working with Node.js and other JavaScript technologies. You can read up a little bit on this.
Deploy Tools: If you are using something like Node.js, you will want to work with flight plan which allows you easily deploy your application to a remote server.
Deploying can get a little bit tricky, so you have to study this carefully.
Linux Command Line: You also need to get handy with the Linux Command line because when working with dedicated servers, chances are that it may be a running on Linux. So you get the basic know on Linux.
Maintenance and Updates: You also need to learn how to do maintenance on your apps and also how to update them when they are on remote server.
