Deploying React to ZEIT Now

The Jamstack architecture is a modern approach to an old idea: making fast, static websites, but making them dynamic with tools like JavaScript.

Developing and shipping production-ready applications to the web today couldn't be easier than with Next.js and Vercel. It provides a world-class developer experience right out of the box and is optimized for powering high-performance production workloads.

How to use Now to easily and seamlessly deploy your Next.js app.

Zeit has great documentation, but it took me a while to understand the difference between environment variables (secrets) on the serverless side vs how to get env vars exposed and available to the React code which runs client side, in the browser.

In this article, we will discuss the pros and cons of serverless then we will quickly build a React app using Next.js and deploy it with ZEIT Now.

Configure Next.js 8 serverless mode to generate lambdas for each page. Use Hasura GraphQL API as data layer. Deploy to Zeit Now. Instant setup.

How to deploy a React app with a back-end API. Part 2: Now.

In this post we will be using Now to deploy our blog. Now makes serverless application deployment easy! Not only that, but their free tier is very generous.

I little over a year ago my friends and I released a little app called Carbon, and since then it has gone through a ton of development and upgrades.

Let's deploy a Next.js app to Vercel! This app contains two types of Env variables... one we want to include in the public build of our app, and another we only want available during "runtime", which means in this case when the serverless api functions are executed... these env variables in runtime are secret!

How simple can it be to create a website, get a custom domain, build a serverless API, configure automatic deployments, and take the whole thing live? With ZEIT’s suite of tools, it can be pretty dang simple.
