DevOps & Hosting: Go Live!

DevOps is the culture and practice that bridges development and operations, ensuring code is built, tested, and deployed to users quickly and reliably.

The Path to Production

Every web application must transition from a local development environment (your computer) to a production environment (public servers). DevOps is the set of tools and practices that automate this journey.

Deployment and Hosting

Deployment is the process of getting all your Frontend and Backend code onto a Web Host. The host is the physical or virtual space that makes your application accessible via the internet.

Types of Hosting

  • Shared Hosting: Cheapest option; resources (CPU, RAM) are shared among many websites. Best for small, low-traffic sites.
  • Virtual Private Server (VPS): A virtual machine dedicated solely to your application, offering much more control and predictable performance.
  • Cloud Hosting (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud): Highly scalable, pay-as-you-go services. This is the industry standard for modern, large-scale applications.
