Deploying & Scaling
- How do I deploy an app built with AI coding tools?
Deploy AI-built apps the same way as any other app: choose a hosting platform, set up your environment, and use CI/CD. But review the code and configuration for security and best practices first. - Can I host a vibe-coded app for free?
Yes, many platforms offer free tiers for static sites and small full-stack apps. For simple projects, you can host for $0, but free tiers come with limits on bandwidth, build minutes, and serverless function invocations. - What is the easiest way to put my AI-built app online?
The easiest way is to use a platform like Vercel or Netlify that connects to your GitHub repository and deploys automatically. Push your code, and it goes live in minutes with SSL and a free subdomain. - How do I add a database to my AI-generated app?
You can add a database by using a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) like Supabase or Firebase, which provide hosted databases with APIs. Alternatively, use a serverless database like PlanetScale or MongoDB Atlas and connect via your app's backend. - Will my AI-built app scale if it gets popular?
It can scale, but it depends on your architecture and hosting choices. Serverless platforms and managed databases scale automatically, but you may need to optimize code and upgrade plans as traffic grows. - How do I set up a custom domain for my vibe-coded app?
Buy a domain from a registrar like Namecheap or Google Domains, then add it to your hosting platform's dashboard. You'll update DNS records (usually CNAME or A records) to point to your host.
