Production Build and Deployment

Development vs Production

Development mode is designed for local development and debugging. A production build prepares optimized assets for deployment.

Basic Deployment Process

1. Install dependencies.
2. Run automated checks.
3. Build the application.
4. Deploy the generated production assets.
5. Configure the web server for the application routing strategy.
6. Verify API URLs and environment configuration.
7. Test the deployed application.
