Production Readiness

Deploying React Applications

Build, deploy, and operate React apps in production with CI/CD and runtime best practices.

Production build

bash
npm run build

For Vite apps, output is generated in dist/.

Deployment targets

  • Vercel
  • Netlify
  • AWS S3 + CloudFront
  • Docker + Nginx

SPA routing fallback

Configure server rewrites so unknown routes return index.html.

Environment configuration

  • Keep secrets outside frontend bundles
  • Use environment variables for API base URLs
  • Separate development and production configs

Final summary

You now have a complete React learning path covering setup, core concepts, hooks, routing, forms, state management, testing, performance, accessibility, and deployment.

Keep practicing by building projects such as:

  1. Task manager with authentication
  2. E-commerce frontend with cart and checkout flow
  3. Admin dashboard with role-based access and analytics
