Lesson 03 · Shipping
Building & Deploying to the Web
Take a project from dev machine to public URL: production builds, static hosting, why secrets never live in client code, domains and HTTPS, CI, rollback, and a pre-flight checklist.
Prerequisites: The Professional Workflow: Terminal & Git
Learning objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Explain what a production build changes and why: bundling, minification, tree-shaking, hashed filenames
- Deploy a static folder to a host and describe what deploying actually does
- Keep secrets out of client code and scan for accidental leaks before shipping
- Walk the production path with intent: domains and DNS, HTTPS, preview deploys, CI, and rollback
