Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

We finished our Astro recipe website, and now it's time to publish our fantastic website on the World Wide Web.
We'll be using Netlify as our hosting provider, as it's a super simple system and setup.
Before we do anything, let's make sure we add two steps to make our lives easier.
Make sure your master branch is up to date and add a netlify.toml file.
[build]
command = "npm run build"
publish = "dist"
This file will make sure Netlify takes the default configuration for this project.
Next up, create a .nvmrc file. This tells Netlify which node version to use, as it by default will use Node 12, and we want to use 14+ with Astro.
v14.15.1

Then click the deploy button, and watch the magic happen!
You will now have your website available at the domain provided by Netlify.

From here, you can even change this to be your domain.
But what if we need to update anything? Don't worry, Netlify makes this super easy, literally super easy!
To get a new release online, all you have to do is push your changes to the master branch! (Or whichever branch you setup)
I happen to like Netlify since it's super easy, and their free tier is massive. But if you like to explore other options, check out Astro's documentation for hosting.
