The last step on the development iteration is to deploy our application. Ours is basically a Node.js application. We are using a Node.js server to handle requests, render our application, and more, and on the client, we are using a React stack.
We are going to look at both practices for production-ready apps and some popular options to deploy our application.
In this section, we will see the best practices for performance and reliability for production-ready applications. These are practices that will help our application to behave correctly and in a reliable way; many things can be work-around or mocked during development, but in production, it is the real deal. If your application crashes, takes too long to load or carry out a critical operation, runs slow, is hacked, and so on, then users suffer; if your users suffer, they leave you.
