How to Deploy Your Replit App
Ready to share your Replit masterpiece with the world? This guide walks you through the surprisingly simple process of deploying your app on Replit.
Step 1: Create Your Application
For this tutorial, we'll create a simple to-do list application:
- Prompt Replit to create a new task tracker application
- Approve Replit's plan for the task tracker
Once created, you'll have a basic task tracker ready for deployment.
Step 2: Open the Deployments Tab
Search for and open the "Deployments" section in your Replit project. You'll see several deployment options:
1. Reserve Virtual Machine
- Billed hourly
- Always on
- Best for: bots, stateful APIs, web scraping
2. Static Pages
- For landing pages and websites
- No database or data persistence
- Only pay for outbound data transfer
3. Scheduled Deployment
- Runs at specific times
- Best for: one-off tasks, cron jobs, internal tools
Step 3: Select Autoscale Deployment
For our task tracker, we'll use Autoscale:
- Resources scale with usage
- Cost increases with more users
- Saves money when traffic is low
Keep the default machine configuration for this tutorial.
Step 4: Configure and Deploy
- Leave the default subdomain
- For team plans: choose private deployment if needed
- Make endpoints accessible if required (e.g., for database access)
- Click "Deploy"
Step 5: Monitor Your Deployment
After deployment completes:
- View your domain in the deployments section
- Check Analytics for traffic data
- Monitor Resources for consumption details
- Adjust settings in Settings if needed
Your Deployed Application
Our task tracker is now live! You can:
- Create new tasks
- Mark tasks as complete
- Edit existing tasks
- Delete tasks
That's It!
You've successfully deployed your Replit application. This simple process works for various types of applications beyond just task trackers.
