Go live

A deploy takes the current version of your app, builds it into files a server can run, and swaps it in for the version visitors see.

There is no deploy button

On DontCode a deploy is not something you start. Every time a build finishes, the new version is deployed on its own to your app's permanent address, and the SSL certificate is issued and renewed for you. That is why your address starts with https from the first minute, and why "going live" is simply the moment a build lands.

What the Deploy page is for

Open Deploys in the sidebar and you get a dashboard, not a launch button:

• The live URL, with a status badge (Live, Building, Failed) for the latest deploy.
• Deployment History: every deploy with its time and duration. View Logs opens the build output for one deploy, which is where to look when a status reads Failed.
• Manage Domains for subdomains and custom domains (next lesson).
• The platform status banner switch, which decides whether your visitors see a short notice during a confirmed platform outage.

When a deploy fails

A failed deploy leaves the previous version live; visitors never see a broken build. Read the logs, then tell Insight in the chat what to fix. The next build deploys on its own.
