Deployment guide

Follow this guide to deploy B Connect reliably and validate your production environment.

Production rollout

Deploy B Connect in four clear phases

1. Prepare your environment

Create environment variables for production values.
Confirm your repository has the latest B Connect changes.

2. Install dependencies and validate locally

Run npm install to restore packages.
Run npm run lint to validate code quality.
Run npm run build to ensure the production bundle is generated successfully.

3. Deploy on Render

Create a new Web Service in Render and connect the repository.
Use build command: npm install && npm run build.
Use start command: npm run start.
Set NODE_VERSION to 20 (or newer supported LTS).

4. Verify production readiness

Check key routes: /, /features, and /deployment.
Validate SSL, caching, and runtime logs in Render dashboard.
Run a quick smoke test for navigation, forms, and content sections.
