Deploying Your Astro.js Site: A Seamless Journey to Vercel and Netlify
Getting your shiny new Astro.js site live on the internet is easier than you might think! Today, I’ll walk you through deploying your site to two popular platforms: Vercel and Netlify. Both options offer incredible features for modern web apps, and the best part? They’re absolutely free for personal projects!
Why Choose Vercel or Netlify?
Before diving into the how-tos, let’s talk about why these platforms are fantastic choices for your Astro.js site. Both Vercel and Netlify offer:
- Automatic deployments from Git
- SSL certificates out of the box
- Global CDN for lightning-fast loading
- Zero configuration needed for most projects
- Generous free tiers perfect for personal sites
Deploying to Vercel
Deploying to Vercel is like a breeze on a summer day - it just works! Here’s how to get started:
- First, make sure your project is on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket
- Head over to Vercel and sign up using your Git provider
- Click “New Project” and import your repository
- Vercel will automatically detect your Astro.js project
- Hit “Deploy” and watch the magic happen!
Deploying to Netlify
Netlify’s deployment process is equally smooth:
