Netlify

For deploying SSR to Netlify, see Deploy > Netlify Functions.

By pre-rendering our pages, we can remove the need for a Node.js server. We can then deploy our app to any static host, such as Netlify.

If we don't deploy our app at the URL root /, we can change our app's Base URL.

In general, we can choose between following deploy strategies:

  • We build locally and upload dist/client/ to the static host.
  • We let a GitHub action build and upload dist/client/ to the static host.
  • We let the static host run the build for us.

The $ vite build command generates a directory dist/client/ that contains all our static assets.

We can locally try our deploy with serve by running $ serve dist/client/.
